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.
a)If the fixed cost is $40 and the variable cost is $10, write the cost equation.
-------------
x is the number of items; 10x is the cost of x items.
----------
Total Cost = variable cost + fixed cost.
Total Cost=10x+40
C=10x+40
