the customer using the following function,
where b the number of boxes of cards and
n= the number of ink colors.
C= $25.60b + $14.00b(n - 1)
If Risa orders 4 boxes of cards printed in 3
colors, how much will the cards cost?
OA. $214.40
OB. $168.00
C. $144.40
OD. $102.40

Answer 1

A - $214.40

Explanation:

Since b is the number of boxes of cards and n is the number of ink colors, and we're given the number of boxes of cards, and number of ink colors, we plug in:

4= b

and

3 = n

into the given equation to solve for C.

Using the order of operations we start inside our parentheses and work from there:

C= $25.60*4 + $14.00*4(3 - 1)

C= $25.60*4 + $14.00*4(2)

C= $102.40 + $112

C= $214.40
