Paula runs a bakery. She estimates that her weekly cost of rent and electricity is $250. The ingredients to bake one cake cost $4. Which equation represents the total cost to Paula's bakery per week, y, if x number of cakes are made A. Y=250x+4 B. Y=4x+250 C.Y=250x-4 D y-4x-250

Answer 1

B. Y=4x+250

Explanation:

Y= total cost for Paula's bakery per week

Cost of rent and electricity=$250

Ingredients for 1 cake =$4

Number of cake=x

Cost of x cake=$4*x

=$4x

Total cost (Y)=cost of rent and electricity+cost of making x cake

Y=$250+$4x

It can also be written as

Y=4x+250
