Question

Alexis runs a small business and creates recordings of her friend’s skateboard stunts. She puts the recordings onto blu-ray and sells them online. She realized that the average cost of each blu-ray depends on the number of blu-rays she creates, because of the fixed cost. The cost of producing x blu-rays is given by

B(x) = 1250 +1.75x
1) Alexis wants to figure out the price to charge friends for the blu-rays. She doesn’t want to make money at this point since it is a brand new business, but does want to cover her costs. Suppose Alexis created 50 blu-rays. What is the cost of producing those 50 blu-rays? How much is it for each blu-ray?
please help my algabra grade dpends on it

Answer 1

The cost of producing those 50 blu-rays is given by, 1337.5 unit and it is 26.75 unit for each blu-ray.

Explanation:

The cost of producing x blu-rays is given by,

B(x) = 1250 + 1.75x unit -----------------------------(1)

So, cost of producing 50 blu-rays is given by,

B(50) =
`1250 + 50 * (1.75)` unit

= (1250 + 87.5) unit

= 1337.5 unit

So, for each blu-ray, it is,

`\frac {1337.5}{50}` unit

= 26.75 unit
