Question

The cost of printing a catalog of the products that your company distributes is a flat rate of $52 plus $0.20 per copy. Let C represent the total cost of printing and x represent the number of copies. Write in symbolic form an equation that will relate C and x. Organize the data into a table of values. Begin with 500 copies, increase by increments of 500, and end with 2500 copies.

Answer 1

Given:
Cost of printing a catalog: flat rate of $52 and $0.20 per copy.

C = 52 + 0.20x

C is the total cost of printing x number of copies.

x = 500
C = 52 + 0.20(500) = 52 + 100 = 152

x = 1000
C = 52 + 0.20(1000) = 52 + 200 = 252

x = 1500
C = 52 + 0.20(1500) = 52 + 300 = 352

x = 2000
C = 52 + 0.20(2000) = 52 + 400 = 452

x = 2500
C = 52 + 0.20(2500) = 52 + 500 = 552
