Question

A lawn mower manufacturer incurs a total of $34,816 in overhead costs and $388 per lawn mower in production costs. How many lawn mowers were manufactured if the average cost of production is $660?

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of lawn mowers that were manufactured

The company has to pay $34,816 before they even make any lawn mowers plus $388 per lawn mower.

((34816+388x)/x)=660
34816+388x=660x
34816=272x
X=128

Therefore, there were 128 lawn mowers manufactured
