Answer:
see below!
Step-by-step explanation:
A) [tex]\frac{.15x + 25 + 48(.15)}{x + 48}[/tex] which can be simplified to [tex]\frac{32.2 + .15x}{x + 48}[/tex] = f(x)
- x in this equation is the cookies because the number of cookies someone wants to make is unknown
- 25 is the total cost of materials used total
- 48(.15) would be the cost of the samples
- f(x) is the answer for when you plug in x
B)
plug in 952 to x because x is the number of cookies left that you need to bake since 48 has been taken out already for the samples
[tex]\frac{32.2 + .15(952)}{952 + 48}[/tex] -----> [tex]\frac{32.2 + 142.8}{1000}[/tex]------> [tex]\frac{175}{1000}[/tex] ------> $0.175 or 17.5 cents
