Question 776535: Kara's Custom Tees experienced fixed costs of $500 and variable costs of $2 a shirt. Write an equation that can be used to determine the total expenses encountered by kara's Custom Tees, by letting x represent number of shirts and C(x) be the total cost of producing x shirts.
I don't understand where the C(x) comes into play or how to set up the equation, how would I do that? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
means "Cost as a function of the number of shirts, x" Total cost is always fixed costs plus variable costs. Your fixed costs are $500, your variable costs are $2 for every shirt manufactured. If you make shirts then the variable costs are , hence:
So if you want to know what it costs to make 100 shirts, you calculate .
