Can someone please check the answer to my question? Please? Question~ A company that manufactures radios first pays a start-up cost, and then spends a certain amount of money to manufacture each radio. If the cost of manufacturing r radios is given by the function c( r ) = 5.25r + 1.25 , then the value 5.25 best represents a. The start-up cost b. The profit earned from the sale of one radio c. The amount spent to manufacture each radio d. The average number of radios manufactured

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

I think its C

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

I believe it is A

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

But the start-up doesn't depends of the number of radios

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

oh ok @isaidavila could you try to tell me why you think its C? (I just want to see if I understand how to answer this question)

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

Do you undestand?

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

You pay the startup once at the beggining

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

But then you have to pay for each radio. That means multiplication

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

Oh I see now, I think C is right

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

Ok

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

thank you for your help!

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

No problem

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
