    We let x be the number of cameras that need to be sold. The total cost for manufacturing x cameras is,

    9x + 1800

    a. To equal its daily cost, the equation would be

    9x + 1800 = 18x

    The value of x from the equation is 200.

    b. For 250 cameras sold,

    18 (250) - ((9) (250) + 1800) = 450

    Therefore, the answer is letter B.
