Question

Bryan's hockey team is purchasing jerseys. The company charges $250 for a onetime set-up fee and $23 for each printed jersey. Which expression represents the total cost of x number of jerseys for the team?Group of answer choices23x23 + 250x23x+250

Answer 1

To find the right answer, we have to remember that

`\text{Total cost= Variable cost+ Fixed cost}`

The variable cost is that which changes, in our case, the variable cost is the price of each jersey. since each cost $23 and it increases as the number of jerseys increases.

Thus, the variable cost will be

`23x`

The fixed cost is always constant. The fixed cost is the one-time set-up fee of 250.

Thus, we can combine the two costs to get the total cost.

The answer will be:

`\text{Total cost=23x+250}`
