Charlotte is in the business of manufacturing phones. She must pay a daily fixed cost to rent the building and equipment, and also pays a cost per phone produced for materials and labor. The labor and materials cost $100 for each phone manufactured, and the total cost of producing 8 phones in a day would be $1300. Write an equation for C,C, in terms of p,p, representing total cost, in dollars, of producing pp phones in a given day.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we want to write a model/equation that will represent the cost of producing a phone

Given, labor and materials cost per phone is $100

the cost of producing 8 phones a day is $1300

let us find the cost of producing one phone a day

8 phone is produced for $1300

1 phone will be for x

x= 1300/8

x=$162.5

The cost of producing a phone in a day is $162.5

therefore the of producing p phone in a day is 162.5p

if C represents the total cost of producing a phone

then total cost, in dollars, of producing p phones in a given day.

C=100+162.5p
