1. Define the variables and write the equations for total cost and revenue:
\text{Total cost} = 20x + 2000
\text{Revenue} = 30x
2. Set the profit equation to zero and solve for \( x \):
30x - (20x + 2000) = 0
30x - 20x - 2000 = 0
10x - 2000 = 0
10x = 2000
x = 200
3. Therefore, the number of radios needed to earn zero profit is:
200
