Question

If Victoria's rent is $400 per month, and she pays an additional $150 for utilities and $35 for advertising each month, what is her cost function using the additional data from previous problem? Use C to denote cost and n for number of collars she makes.​

Answer 1

`C(n) = 435n + 150`

Explanation:

Given

`Base = 400` -- Base charge per month

`Utilities = 150`

`Adverts = 35` per month

Required

The cost function

To do this, we multiply the rates by the number of months.

So, we have:

`C(n) = Base * n + Adverts * n + Utilities`

So, we have:

`C(n) = 400 * n + 35 * n + 150`

`C(n) = 400n + 35n + 150`

`C(n) = 435n + 150`
