Question 992299: Finite math
The cost to run a TV factory depends on the number of items produced. The factories fixed cost is 10008 month in addition to 120 for each TV produced. Write the equation relating y, the factories cost,to x, the number of TV's produced
Answer by Theo(13342) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 10008 + 120 * x

that's the equation for the monthly cost.

the fixed cost is 10008 per month.

the variable cost is 120 per tv.

x represents the number of tv's produced in a particular month.

if you produce 0 tv's for the month (x = 0), your cost is 10008 + 120 * 0 = 10008 for that month.

if you produce 100 tv's for the month (x = 100), your cost is 10008 + 120 * 100 = 10008 + 12000 = 22008 for that month.

you can graph this as shown below:

in this graph, x represents the number of tv's produced in a particular month and y represents the total cost for that month.
