Question

The equation 201.50=f+6.50(21) represents the cost of printing the shirts at a second printing company. Find the solution to the equation. The solution is . State what the solution represents in this situation.

Answer 1

f = 65

Setup cost = 65

Explanation:

Given the equation : 201.50=f+6.50(21)

Solving for f:

201.50 = f + 136.50

201.50 - 136.50 = f

f = 65

The equation above is written in the form a slope intercept function where,, 6.50 is the gradient and X equals the number of shirts, The total cost of printing is 201.50

f is the intercept and represents the initial fee or setup cost. Hence, the setup. Cost = 65
