The cost of producing a number of items x is given by c=mx+b, in which b is the fixed cost and m is the variable cost ( the cost of producing one more item.
\n" ); document.write( "a)If the fixed cost is $40 and the variable cost is $10, write the cost equation.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "x is the number of items; 10x is the cost of x items.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Total Cost = variable cost + fixed cost.
\n" ); document.write( "Total Cost=10x+40
\n" ); document.write( "C=10x+40
