Answer 1

They produced 8350 hand warmers

Explanation:

The expense function =
`1.18q+12,000`

Where q is the number of hand warmers sold.

We are given that the company has total expenses of $21,853

So,
`1.18q+12,000=21853`

`1.18q=21853-12000`

`1.18q=9853`

`q=(9853)/(1.18)`

q=8350

Hence They produced 8350 hand warmers
