Students stuff envelopes for extra money. Their initial cost to obtain the information for the job was $110. Each envelope costs $.05 and they get paid $.06 per envelope stuffed. Let x represent the number of envelopes stuffed.
(a) Express the cost C as a function of x.:: C(x) = 110+0.05x
--------------------------------
(b) Express the revenue R as a function of x.:: R(x) = 0.06x
--------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Determine the value of x for which revenue equals cost.
110+0.05x = 0.06x
110 = 0.01x
x = 11000
