The cost of packing a box of chocolates is given by x², where x is the number of chocolates (a box can never have fewer than 3 chocolates). If the

weight of a box of chocolates is given by x + 2, what is the cost of packaging per weight unit?

Explanation:

The answer to the problem is as follows:

For a box with x chocolates, the cost of packaging is C(x) = x^2 and the

weight is W(x) = x + 2.

Thus the cost per unit weight is C(x) / W(x) = x^2 / (x + 2).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
