Question

C(x) = 49x + 2000, where x is the number of calculators produced. How many calculators can be produced if the cost is limited to $114,700?

Answer 1

Since you can thing of C(x) as the output of the math machine, or the answer you get out when you plug in, say, a number of calculators for x, try setting C(x) equal to $114,700 and solving for the variable. The question is basically asking, "What number of calculators are needed for the function to pop out the number 114,700?"
