The question provided asks how many bags Shane must sell to break even. Let's break this down:

### Given:
- Selling price per bag = Php 1,150
- Monthly fixed cost = Php 17,550
- Variable cost per bag = Php 750

### Break-even formula:
The break-even point (BEP) in units is calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Break-even point (units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Selling Price per unit} - \text{Variable Cost per unit}}
\]

### Substituting the values:
\[
\text{BEP} = \frac{17,550}{1,150 - 750}
\]
\[
\text{BEP} = \frac{17,550}{400}
\]
\[
\text{BEP} = 43.875
\]

Since Shane cannot sell a fraction of a bag, she needs to sell **44 bags** to break even.

So, the correct answer is **44**.

Would you like further details on the process or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How would the break-even point change if the fixed cost increases?
2. What if the variable cost decreases? How would it affect the break-even point?
3. How would selling the bags at a lower price affect Shane's profit?
4. What happens if Shane sells 50 bags? What would her profit be?
5. How can Shane reduce her break-even point without lowering the quality of her product?

**Tip**: Always round up when dealing with break-even points in units since partial units aren't practical to sell.

Shane sells her bags for Php 1,150 each. She has a monthly fixed cost of Php 17,550 and a variable cost of Php 750 per bag. How many bags must Shane sell to break-even?

This problem explores how to calculate the break-even point for Shane, who sells bags for Php 1,150 each, with fixed monthly costs of Php 17,550 and variable costs of Php 750 per bag. Learn how to determine how many bags Shane must sell to break even using the break-even formula.
