Answer:
the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin
Step-by-step explanation:
the total cost of making the muffins is
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost = $300 + $0.12 / muffin *Q
where Q = number of muffins
the average cost is
Average cost = Total cost / number of muffins = ($300 + $0.12 *Q) / Q = $300/Q + $0.12 / muffin
then for Average cost= $0.25/muffin
$300/Q + $0.12 / muffin = $0.25/muffin
Q = $300 / ( $0.25/muffin- $0.12 / muffin ) = 2307.69 muffins ≈ 2307 muffins ( we are rounding down since we want to find the number before the cost goes below 0.25)
then the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin
*here is step by step*
(Remember to add the 'x' to the slope)
-4x+6y=16
6y=4x+16
y= 4/6x + 2.66
The complete answer is:
y= 2/3x + 2.66
Hope this helps you with your questions.
