Question

To encourage bulk buying a company reduces the list price of $9000 per unit by seven cents times the number of units bought write a function statement for the company’s revenue (R) from a particular distributor that buys x units
R(x)= blank

Answer 1

Answer:

R(x) = 8999.93x

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is $9000 per unit. The unit is x, so if you buy x units, you pay 9000x.

The original price function is

R(x) = 9000x

The discount is 7 cents per unit bought, so if you buy x units, the discount is 9x in cents, or 0.09x in dollars. This discount is subtracted from the original price, so the discounted price is

R(x) = 9000x - 0.07x

R(x) = 8999.93x

Answer: R(x) = 8999.93x
