We're looking for C(h), where h is the hundreds of shirts. The fact that they cost "$500 for each additional 100 t-shirt" tells us the slope is 500. Knowing that 1 hundred costs 750, we could use point-slope at this point: (C - 750)/(h - 1) = 500C - 750 = 500h - 500C(h) = 500h + 250 We can check that C(1) = 750 and C(2) = 1250, as we expect. I'll leave it to you to evaluate C(5).
The answer would be c
Hope this helps!
Answer= 6.5y+12
distribute the 5 in the parentheses:
(-6y-3) + (15+12.5y)
(you can take away the parentheses after this step)
then add like terms together.
12.5y + (-6y) = 6.5y
15 + (-3) = 12
make it one expression.
6.5y + 12
