Answer:
The number of scooters that need to be produced so that the average cost per scooter is $180 is 430 scooters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This question is not properly structured/written. The question is therefore rewritten properly before answering the question as follows:
To manufacture scooters, the manufacturer has a fixed cost of $34,400 plus a variable cost of $100 per scooter. Find n, the number of scooters, that need to be produced so that the average cost per scooter is $180.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The number of scooters can be calculated as follows:
Variable cost per scooter = $100
n = number of scooter = ?
Total variable cost = Variable cost per scooter * n = $100 * n = $100n
Total cost = Fixed cost + Total variable cost = $34,400 + $100n
Average cost per scooter = Total cost / n = $180 ................ (1)
Substituting the value for Total cost into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
($34,400 + $100n) / n = $180
$34,400 + $100n = $180n
$34,400 = $180n - $100n
$34,400 = $80n
n = $34,400 / $80
n = 430
Therefore, the number of scooters that need to be produced so that the average cost per scooter is $180 is 430 scooters.
