Question

A printing service charges a set up fee of 14.50 for each order and 8 cent more for each copy the total cost is C in dollars for and order of X copies is given by the following function C(X)=0.08x+14.50. What is the total cost for 40 copies Please help

Answer 1

Explanation:

In order to get the answer first you figure out the type of equation. In this case this is a linear equation, y=mx+b

The B or the y-intercept/base is the first step. Here, it says a fee of 14.50 is needed for each order.

The mx part will be the .08 cents needed for each copy.

y= .08x+14.50 is the equation....

The copies needed is 40 which is the x in the situation:

y=.08(40)+14.50....

.08 * 40 is 3.2 then add the base of 14.50 which is: 17.70 all together
