Question

The function M(s) = 225 + 0.65s represents the material cost of manufacturing gardening scissors when s scissors are produced. The function L(s) = 54 + 1.15s represents the labor cost for producing s scissors. Which expression correctly represents the manufacturing cost per scissors?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}$                                                        

Step-by-step explanation:

The  material cost of manufacturing gardening scissors when s scissors are produced : $M(s) = 225 + 0.65s$

The labor cost for producing s scissors: $L(s) = 54 + 1.15s$

So, total cost of producing s scissors =  $M(s)+L(s)$

                                                              =  $225 + 0.65s+54 + 1.15s$

                                                              =  $279 + 1.8s$          

So, total cost for s scissors =  $279 + 1.8s$    

So, manufacturing cost for 1 scissor=  $\frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}$                                                        

Hence the manufacturing cost per scissors is  $\frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}$
