Question

A furniture company misprinted a sales ad for a living room set but honors the advertised price. For each customer who purchases the living room set, the company suffers a loss of $125. Write a function to represent the company's total loss. What is the value of the function for an input of 50, and what does it represent? ...?

Answer 1

We can say that there are x customers.
So,
f (x) = 125x
To get how much money the company loses, we can make x equal to 50.
f (50) = 125(50) = 6250
The company loses $6,250 when 50 customers purchase the furniture.
