Break even quantity = fixed cost+variable cost.

2000+20x = 1500+30x.

x = 50.

Break even quantity = Fixed cost/(Selling cost-variable cost).

So we can use for that: 2000/(x-20) = 1500/(x-30).

After that we can get x = 60.

BEP = 1500/(60-30) = 50.

Fixed cost/sales cost - variable cost = Q (BEP).

From both values, Equating both sides you get sales cost.

To solve this equate the above conditions in Break Even Equation as:

Q= FIXED COST+ VARIABLE COST * NO OF UNITS.

2000+ 20*X = 1500+ 30*X.
500 = 10*X.
Here the break-even quantity is:
x= 50 units.
