Question

The cost to manufacture x number of chairs can be represented by the function C(x)=36x. In this context, what does C(x)=2268 mean?

Answer 1

C(x)=2268 means the cost of manufacturing x number of chairs at a given cost (C) is 2268. The cost of manufacturing one chair is 36 and it is given in the preceding equation. Now we can replace C with its value, 36. So the equation now becomes 36x=2268 Therefore x= 2268/36 = 63 So the number of chairs manufactured is 63.
