Break even point is a decimal???

If the break even point is a decimal answer, do i round it off when dealing with items such as shoes or tables??? If i do round it then it technically isnt the break even "point" any more. It would represent either a profit or loss. So im confused, any ideas?

If this happens always round up because technically you would not reach break even if you are say .6 units below
