Let 
represent the number of hard drives produced.
The first thing we need to do is convert 10 cents to dollars:
. Now, we know that the the cost of materials is 30 dollars and the cost of labor is 0.1 dollars, so the total coast to produce hard drives will be: 
.
Now the only thing left is add t<span>he cost of equipment to complete our function:
</span>
We can conclude that the equation that could represent the cost function for making x hard drives is <span>f(x)=30.1x+10,000</span>
