Question

Alexis wants to figure out the price to charge friends for the blu-rays. She doesn’t want to make money at this point since it is a brand new business, but does want to cover her costs. Suppose Alexis created 50 blu-rays. What is the cost of producing those 50 blu-rays? How much is it for each blu-ray?
B(x) = 1250 +1.75x

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of producing 50 blu-rays will be $1337.5

Each blu-rays must be sold of $26.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of producing x number of blu-rays is given by the relation  

B(x) = 1250 + 1.75x ........... (1)

Therefore, the total cost for producing 50 blu-rays will be  

B(50) = 1250 + 1.75 × 50 = $1337.5 (Answer)

Now, Alexis does not want to make a profit by selling the blu-rays to her friends and wants just to cover her costs.

Therefore, the selling price of 50 blu-rays will be $1337.5.

Hence, each blu-rays must be sold of $\frac{1337.5}{50} = 26.75$ dollars. (Answer)
