So we have \n" ); document.write( "C = .07w + 13.3 \n" ); document.write( "Now if w = 375, we just plug it in and calculate \n" ); document.write( "C = .07*375 + 13.3 \n" ); document.write( "C = $39.55 \n" ); document.write( "We divide that by 375 to find the average cost... \n" ); document.write( "Average = $39.55/375 = $.1055 or a little more than 10 1/2 cents each... \n" ); document.write( " |
