PLEASE HELP

A machine used to make badges costs $150. It costs $2 to make each badge. Part A: Write a function to show the total cost f(n) of making n badges. Part B: What is the total cost of making 20 badges? Part C: If the cost of the machine was $20 more, what would be the cost of making 7 badges?

The function should look like: [price of machine] + 2 (price to make every badge) * number of badges

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f(x)=150+2*N???

OpenStudy (bibby):

if it's f(x) it's 150 +2x if it's f(n) -> = 150+2n either way, yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you..

OpenStudy (bibby):

Part B: What is the total cost of making 20 badges? soo, how would you approach this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

150+2*20?

OpenStudy (bibby):

yeah, 150+40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so part c would be like 170*7?

OpenStudy (bibby):

not exactly. f(n) -> = 150+2n becomes f(n) -> = 170+2n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

170+2*7

OpenStudy (bibby):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!!!

no problem
