Question

You’ve written your first novel and, like many first-time authors, can’t find a publisher. So you’ve decided to self-publish your book. You need to work out the cost of printing the book. If the cost of printing the novel includes a base cost of $1,550 plus $4 per book, write a function that represents the cost of printing x copies of the book. Type your response here: If you want to cover the printing costs by printing and selling only 50 copies of the book, at what price must you sell the book?

Answer 1

P(x) = 4x + 1550 <== ur function

selling only 50 copies...
P(50) = 4(50) + 1550
P(50) = 200 + 1550
P(50) = 1750....so the printing cost for 50 copies is 1750

1750 = 50x....x = cost of each book
1750/50 = x
35 = x.......u would have to sell each book for $ 35 <===
