Hello,

The cost for a business to make greeting cards can be divided into one-time cost (e.g., a printing machine) and repeated costs (e.g., ink and paper). Suppose the total cost to make 30 cards is $800, and the total cost to make 550 cards is $1,300. What is the total cost to make 1,000 cards? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Find: the total of 1 card!

800 / 30 = 2.666666... = 3

1,300 / 550 = 2.3636... = 2

Answer - A) 2,000
