Victoria is in the business of manufacturing phones. She must pay a daily fixed cost to rent the building and equipment, and also pays a cost per phone produced for materials and labor. The labor and materials cost $50 for each phone manufactured, and the total cost of producing 3 phones in a day would be $450. Write an equation for the function C (p), representing total cost, in dollars, of producing p phones in a given day.

    C (p) = p*50 + 300

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the names:

    Clm: cost of labor and materials

    Crm: fixed cost on rent and equipment

    p: number of phones

    and Ct: total cost

    the ecuation would be number of phones times the cost and material plus the fixed cost, something like this

    p * Clm + Crm = Ct

    on the example we have all the data except the rent and equipment cost (the fixed cost) so thats what we need to solve

    producing 3 phones its

    3 * ¨50 + Crm = 450

    Crm = 450 - 150 = 300

    so replacing in the above formula the equation would be

    C (p) = p * 50 + 300
