Question

A manufacturer of​ tools, selling rechargeable drills to a chain of home improvement​ stores, charges

​$4

more per drill than its manufacturing​ cost, m. The chain then sells each drill for

130​%

of the price that it paid the manufacturer. Find a function

Answer 1

P(m) = 1.3(m+4)

consumer price = $5.20 + 1.3m where m= manufacturer's cost in dollars. 130% = 1.3
