Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the smallest number of flags for a profit, set the revenue equal to the cost and solve for $x$: $23x = 9x + 19,071$. Simplifying gives $14x = 19,071$, so $x = 1363.64$. The smallest whole number is 1364, but since the question asks for the smallest whole number of flags for a profit, we need to check the options. The closest option is 1363, which is the correct answer.
