Jonathan is considering opening a shop for online baseball memorabilia. He has two options. He can build the web site himself and only pay for hosting. This would cost him $2,000/year. The average item for sale is $4.09. Average costs associated with each sale are $3.03.
 
His second option is to use an existing e-commerce service. This incurs an additional monthly cost of $15/month. The site takes a cut of his sales of $0.22/item, so he is planning on also increasing his prices by $0.52/item. The remaining costs stay the same.

How many items does he need to sell using his own site in order to break even?
