Question

Suppose your soccer coach is ordering duffel bags online for your team. The online store charges $16.49 per bag plus $10.50

for shipping and handling of the order. Suppose x is the number of bags ordered and go is the total cost of the bags. Select

the function that models the relationship. Then select the cost of buying 12 bags.






Answer: g(x)=16.49x+10.50


Total cost of 12 bags

$208.38

Answer 1

g(x)=16.49x+10.50

$208.38

Explanation:

let the cost of x bags = g(x)

cost of one bag = $16.49

cost of x bags = $16.49x

shipping and handling charges = $10.50

total cost of x bags = 16.49x + 10.50

g(x) = 16.49x + 10.50

To determine the cost of 12 bags, substitute x with 12 and simplify:

g(12) = 16.49(12) + 10.50

= 208.38

Answer 2

g(x) = $16.49x + $10.50

$208.38

Explanation:

Given the following:

Cost per bag = $16.49

Shipping and handling fee = $10.50

Number of bags ordered = x

If g(x) = total cost of bags

Bag cost = cost per bag × number of bags ordered

Bag Cost = $16.49 * x = $16.49x

Shipping and handling fee = $10.50

Total cost of bags = Bag cost + shipping and handling fee

g(x) = $16.49x + $10.50

Where x is the number of bags ordered.

Therefore, total cost of 12 bags equals ;

g(12) = $16.49(12) + $10.50

g(12) = $197.88 + $10.50

g(12) = $208.38
