Question

Marty's Tee Shirt​ & Jacket Company is to produce a new line of jackets with an embroidery of a Great Pyrenees dog on the front. There are fixed costs of $ 680 to set up for​ production, and variable costs of $ 41 per jacket. Write an equation that can be used to determine the total​ cost, C(x), encountered by​ Marty's Company in producing x jackets.

Answer 1

Answer:

C(x)= 41x + 680

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fixed cost is 680, that will apply regardless of how many jackets the company makes for you. The number of jackets is unknown.  However, we know that the cost of producing a single jacket is 41, so we can represent that expression as 41x.  Putting those things together gives us a function of the cost:

C(x) = 41x + 680
