Question

You are designing a sticker to advertise your band. A company charges $225 for the first 1000 stickers and $80 for each additional 1000 stickers. a. Write an equation that represents the total cost C (in dollars) of the stickers as a function of the number n (in thousands) of stickers ordered.

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation would be C(n)=225+80(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:    $C=80n+145$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A company charges $225 for the first 1000 stickers and $80 for each additional 1000 stickers.

i.e. Cost of first 1000 sticker is fixed as  $225.

Rate of 1000 stickers after that =  $80

Let C be the total cost ( in dollars)  of the stickers as a function of the number n (in thousands) of stickers ordered.

Then, Total cost = Fixed cost of first 1000 stickers+ Cost of stickers after that

$\Rightarrow\ C= 225+(80)(n-1)$

$\Rightarrow\ C= 225+80n-80$  [distributive property]

$\Rightarrow\ C= 80n+225-80$  [commutative property]

$\Rightarrow\ C=80n+145$

Hence , the equation that represents the total cost C (in dollars) of the stickers as a function of the number n (in thousands) of stickers ordered. would be

$C=80n+145$
