The cost i dollarsof manufacturing w wing nuts is given by the expression 0.07w + 13.3. Find the cost when 375 wing nuts are made. What is the average cost to manufacture one wing nut?
Put in 375 for w, and compute the cost.
Average cost= costabove/w
I'm sorry this still is not helping me. Show me the rule or formula and I can solve it.
0.07(375)+13.3
To find the cost when 375 wing nuts are made, you can substitute 375 for w in the given expression: 0.07w + 13.3.
So, the cost would be:
Cost = 0.07(375) + 13.3
Calculating this, you get:
Cost = 26.25 + 13.3
Cost = 39.55 dollars
Thus, the cost to manufacture 375 wing nuts would be 39.55 dollars.
To find the average cost to manufacture one wing nut, you can use the formula:
Average cost = Total cost / Number of wing nuts
Since we already calculated the total cost to be 39.55 dollars, and we know the number of wing nuts is 375, you can substitute these values into the formula:
Average cost = 39.55 / 375
Calculating this, you get:
Average cost = 0.105 dollars
Therefore, the average cost to manufacture one wing nut would be approximately 0.105 dollars or 10.5 cents.
