Question

16. A company spends $100 per day on fixed expenses such as electricity, rent, and the like. It also spends $35 per day on each employee working that day. Find a linear equation relating the total daily cost, C, with the number of employees working on any particular day, x.

Answer 1

C = Total Daily Cost
Total Daily Cost = (Salary per employee per day)×(Total no. of employees on that day) + Fixed Expenses.

C = 35x + 100

Answer 2

C = $100+$35x

Explanation:

Given :

A company spends $100 per day on fixed expenses such as electricity, rent, and the like.

It also spends $35 per day on each employee working that day.

To Find : a linear equation relating the total daily cost, C, with the number of employees working on any particular day, x.

Solution :

A company spend $100 per day on fixed expenses

No. of employees working on a particular day = x

Company spend on each employee per day = $35

It spends on x employee = $35x

Since total daily cost = C

Thus C = $100+$35x

Hence , a linear equation relating the total daily cost, C, with the number of employees working on any particular day, x. : C = $100+$35x
