A bottle manufacturer has determined that the cost (C) in dollars of producing x bottles Is C = 0.65x + 2000. What is the cost of producing 300 bottles?

Answer 1

Hi Brycelyn,

Thanks for your question! In this problem, we're given a relationship between the cost of producing bottles C and the number of bottles made x. If we want to know the cost of producing 300 bottles, we need to set x = 300 in the formula above and solve for C. In particular, we have

C = 0.65 x + 2000

= 0.65(300) + 2000

= 2195.

Therefore, it will cost 2195 dollars to produce 300 bottles.
