Algebra.Com's Answer #81725 by BrittanyM(80)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We've already been given a general equation that represents the cost of production, \n" ); document.write( "0.07W + 13.3 \n" ); document.write( "This menas that 13.3 is a base rate, no matter what quantity you use, this cost will always be applicable. And the 0.07W gives us the exact cost of production for each part manufactured. \n" ); document.write( "With this, realizing that W is the quantity, we can plug in the quantities and find the total cost of production. \n" ); document.write( "Were W = 375: \n" ); document.write( "0.07(375) +13.3 = 39.55 \n" ); document.write( "So when the quantity is 375, the cost of production is 39.55 \n" ); document.write( "Where W = 1: \n" ); document.write( "0.07(1) + 13.3 = 13.37 \n" ); document.write( "So when the quantity is 1, the total cost of production is 13.37 \n" ); document.write( " |
