Breakeven is 24 students

Explanation:

Breakeven is when the sales are equal to cost.

So,

Sales = Px*Q

Px is the price of the training session

Q are the number of participants

Sales = 150Q

Cost = fix cost+variables cost

Cost=3000+25Q

Breakeven

150Q=3000+25Q

150Q-25Q=3000

125Q=3000

Q=3000/125

Q=24

Breakeven is 24 students
