You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"C%28x%29=ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc\"$ Since you have the number of calculators as x, simply plug in that value for x in the formula (0, 10, or 100 in this problem). Then set the result equal to the amount of money it should cost (those amounts given in the problem). I believe this is how you should set it up. I hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
