725

Answer 1

D) 675 units per day.

Explanation:

We can write a function to model the situation.

The company is currently producing 275 units per day.

And it will increase its production by 50 units after each year.

Therefore, after y years, its production in units per day will be:

`f(y)=275+50y`

Then 8 years from now, the company will be producing:

`f(8)=275+50(8)=275+400=675\text{ units per day.}`

Our answer is D.
