For a printing company, the cost of printing business cards is a linear function, C(x) = 0.05x + 20, where x is the number of cards printed. What is the cost of printing 950 business cards? 15 points

Answer 1

67.50

Explanation:

You want the cost of printing 950 business cards if the cost of printing x of them is C(x) = 0.05x +20.

Evaluation

To evaluate the cost function, put 950 where x is, and do the arithmetic.

C(950) = 0.05·950 +20

C(950) = 47.50 +20 = 67.50

The cost of printing 950 business cards is 67.50.
