Question

Concord is a nonprofit organization that captures stray deer bewildered within residential communities. Fixed costs are $10000. The variable cost of capturing each deer is $10 each. Concord is funded by a local philanthropy in the amount of $56000 for 2020. How many deer can Concord capture during 2020?

Answer 1

Answer: 4600

Explanation:

The number of deer that Concord can capture during 2020 will be calculated thus:

Let the number of deers that'll be captured be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, we can form an equal which will be:

Fixed cost + Variable cost = Total cost

10000 + 10x = 56000

10x = 56000 - 10000

10x = 46000

x = 46000/10

x = 4600

Therefore, 4600 deers can be captured
