Question

The cost in dollars y of producing x computer desks is given by y = 50x + 2000 . Find the number of computer desks that can be produced for $5000. (Hint: Find x when y = 5000 )

Answer 1

x= 60

Explanation:

Just substitute the value of y in the equation,

y=50x+2000

or, 5000=50x+2000

or, 50x= 3000

or, x = 3000/50

so, x = 60
