Answer 1

Given :

A local business charges $20 to set up their sweatshirt printing machine with the design and $9.75 in materials per sweatshirt to print.

To Find :

Write an equation for the average cost A(x) of printing x sweatshirts through this company.

Solution :

Let, number of sweatshirts sold are x.

So, average cost A(x) of printing is given by :

A(x) = 9.75x + 20

Therefore, average cost per sweatshirts are A(x) = 9.75x + 20 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
