Question

The function M(s) = 225 + 0.65s represents the material cost of manufacturing gardening scissors when s scissors are produced. The function L(s) = 54 + 1.15s represents the labor cost for producing s scissors. Which expression correctly represents the manufacturing cost per scissors?
A.

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

Based on the limited information provided, I assume

manufacturing costs = material cost + labor cost

and as such,
if the manufacturing cost is C(x)

then
C(x) = M(x) + L(x)

and so to find your answer choice, you just have to add both functions

C(x) = 225 + 0.65s + 54 + 1.15s
C(x) = ??
