Question

Kara's Customer Tees experienced fixed costs of $200 and variable costs of $3 a shirt. Write an equation that can be use to determine the total expenses encountered by Kara's Custom Tees. Let x be the number of shirts, and let C(x) be the total cost of producing x shirts. Then, C(x)=____. The cost of producing 5 shirts is $_______.

Answer 1

The total cost of producing x shirts:
C ( x ) = 200 + 3 x
The cost of producing 5 shirts is:
C ( 5 ) = 200 + 3 * 5 = 200 + 15 = $215
