Jellies! charges $8.50 for each jar of preserves. Shipping charges are $3.75 for each order plus $0.65 per jar. Find a function C that models the cost of buying and shipping x jars of preserves.

Question

I have no idea where to start with this, it's not in my notes. Need help ASAP! Thank you!

Answer 1

The cost function is C(n) = 3.75 + 0.65*N

the revenue function is R(n) = 8.5*n

the profit function is R(n) - C(n) = 8.5n - 3.75 - 0.65n = 7.85 n - 3.75
