Question 174570: The Student Council is going to buy equipment to make thingamajigs to sell to raise money for a school project. The equipment will cost $400, regardless of how many thingamajigs are produced. In addition to the initial equipment purchase, the Student Council will have a cost of $7 for each thingamajig. Write an equation for the total cost for producing x thingamajigs. How much will it cost to produce 80 thingamajigs?

.
If x = thingamajigs produced
then cost (as a function of x) is:
cost = f(x) = 7x + 400
.
if x = 80, plug it in and calculate cost:
f(80) = 7(80) + 400 = 560 + 400 = $960
