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.
