A factory charges $3 a plate. They charge $5 to ship every 200 plates. How much would we have to pay for plated and shipping cost if we wanted $5,000 plates?

Answer 1

Since each plate costs $3, 5000 plates would cost 5000*3=$15000. The shipping cost is $5/200 plates * 5000 plates = $5 * 5000/200 = $5 * 25 = $125. So the total charge is 15000 + 125 = $15,125
