high school class is putting together a newsletter. The cost of design and colour copies is $200 plus $0.75 per copy. The class plans to sell the newsletter for $1.25. Determine an equation to the cost to make the newsletter.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of copies of the newsletter.

The total cost to make the newsletter is $200 (design and colour copies) plus $0.75 for each copy.

So the equation for the cost is C(x) = 200 + 0.75x.
