The function D represents the cost is $175 for of x towels.
For the first 20 towels, the equation is simply 5x.
The 5 is the cost per towel ($5) times the number of towels sold up to and including 20 towels.
<h3>What is the meaning of maximum cost of 20 towels?</h3>
Replace x by 20 in given expression we get the maximum cost
So the maximum cost of those 20 towels is $5 (20)=$100.
Looking at towels 21 and greater, the price drops to $3 each. Putting this in a formula,
Therefore we get,
3(x-20)+100
Which is $3 for the cost per towel, (x-20) since it starts with towel number 21, and +100 for the cost of the first 20 towels.
Let's try it for 45 towels using the formula
3 (45-20)+ 100
=3(25) + 100
=75+ 100
= $175
The function D represents the cost is $175 for of x towels.
