Answer:
the answer to your question is D. d=54
Answer:
Part A) see the explanation
Part B) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and C, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
Let
C ---> is the total cost (represent the output or dependent variable)
x ----> is the number of books (represent the input or independent variable)
In this problem
we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and C
Part B) we know that
The linear equation is given by

The constant of proportionality k is the same that the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
In this problem the constant k is given

so

For x=12 books
substitute in the equation and solve for C

In function notation

Million has 6 zeoes
34,000,000+256,00*400
PEMDAS
multiply first
256,000*400=102,400,000
add to 34,000,000
136,400,000
now
must be in form
(x)(10^m)
such taht
1<x<10
and x times 10^m is the original number
1.364*10^8
