Select the best answer for the question.

2. Assume a car maker produces 785 SUVS each workday (Monday through Friday). If the cost to produce each SUV is $5,500,
what's the car maker's total cost for the year?
A. $1,122,550,000
O B. $1,222,550,000
C. $112,500,000
D. $11,122,550,000

Answer 1

785 x $5,500 = $4,317,500

This is to represent the cars times the amount of money it is to produce this within work days so if you were to times that amount (4,317,500) with the amount of work days there are in a year you would get your answer

There are 365 days in a year

Due to the fact that the work days are Monday through Friday disregarding Saturdays and Sundays 365 - 105 (105 representing the weekends and excluding the holidays) this gives you the answer of 260 work days.

So by taking your answer of 260 work days and money used to produce 785 SUVS within a week

260 x $4,317,500 = $1,122,550,000
