Question

The total cost in dollars for a certain company to produce x empty jars to be used by a jelly producer is given by the function C(x)=0.3x+15,000. Find C(70,000), the cost of producing 70,000 jars.

Answer 1

Answer:

36,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given by:

C(x) = 0.3x + 15,000

This equation works for any number of empty jars where x gives the number of empty jars. To solve this question, what we need to do is to substitute 70,000 for x.

Hence, C(x) = 0.3(70,000) + 15,000

C(x) = 21,000 + 15,000

C(x) = 36,000

This means to produce 70,000 jars, we need a total amount of 36,000
