To predict the total cost for buying 10 of the type A markers, we need to understand the coordinates of points A and B on the graph. The point A (3,6) suggests that when 3 markers (x-axis value) are purchased, the total cost is 6 (y-axis value).
From point A, we can determine the cost per marker for type A:
- Cost for 3 markers = 6
- Cost per marker = Total cost / Number of markers = 6 / 3 = 2.
Now, to find the total cost for 10 markers of type A:
- Total cost = Cost per marker * Number of markers = 2 * 10 = 20.
So, the predicted total cost for buying 10 of the type A markers is A. 20.00.
