Question

P(c) = 1200c + 2(280)

Which statement best describes the meaning of p(4)?

Answer 1

`p(4) = 5360`

Explanation:

Given

`p(c) = 1200c + 2(280)`

Required

Interpret p(4)

This implies that c = 4

Substitute 4 for c in
`p(c) = 1200c + 2(280)`

`p(4) = 1200 * 4 + 2(280)`

`p(4) = 1200 * 2 * 280`

`p(4) = 1200 * 4 + 560`

`p(4) = 4800+ 560`

`p(4) = 5360`

There are no option attached to this question.

I'll assume c represents cost and p(c) represents the profit.

Base on this assumption, a suitable statement is:

When cost is 4, the profit is 5360.
