Question

A company that manufactures widgets has fixed cost of $9,186.00 each month and a cost of $2.75 for each widget it produces which of the following equations could be used to determine the total production cost for the company if it produced X what is last month let X represent the number of widgets the factory produce last month and Y represent the total production cost from the factory

Answer 1

`y = \$9186.00 + \$2.75x`

Explanation:

Given

`Fixed\ Cost = \$9186.00`

`Cost\ per\ widget =\$2.75`

Required

Determine an expression for this scenario

x = number of widgets

y = total cost

The expression for y is calculated as follows:

`y = Fixed\ Cost + Cost\ per\ widget * Number\ of\ widgets`

Substitute values for the fixed cost, the cost per widget and the number of widgets

`y = \$9186.00 + \$2.75 * x`

`y = \$9186.00 + \$2.75x`
