Answer:

131,111 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Hi-Speed will have a fixed cost of ​$89,000 per month and a variable cost of ​$1.25 per bag. Clunker has a fixed cost of only ​$30,000 per​ month, but a variable cost of ​$1.65.

Hi-Speed= 89000 + 1.25*x

Clunker= 30,000 + 1.65*x

30,000 + 1.65x = 89,000 + 1.25x

0.45x = 59,000

x= 131,111 units
