C=725%2B2.75n
a)What does each term on the right side of the equation represent?
725 represents the constant in the equation, n+is the number of magazines printed

b) Suppose $12500 was spent on producing magazines. How many magazines were printed?
if C=12500
then
12500=725%2B2.75n
12500-725=2.75n
11775=2.75n
n=11775%2F2.75
n=4281.81
n=4281 of magazines printed

c) How many magazines can be produced for $20000?

if C=20000
then
20000=725%2B2.75n
20000-725=2.75n
19275=2.75n
n=19275%2F2.75
n=7009.09
n=7009 magazines can be produced for $20000

d) How much would 2500 magazines cost?

n=2500
C=725%2B2.75%2A2500
C=725%2B6875
C=7600
