The total cost of food damage repair is represented by the equation C=mx+b, where m is the cost per square meter of damage and x is the area of flood damage in square meters. If the cost per square meter is $50, and there is a fixed cost (b) of $10,000 for other miscellaneous expenses, what is the total cost for flood damage repair for an area of 200 square meters?
To find the total cost for flood damage repair for an area of 200 square meters, we first need to substitute the given values into the equation C=mx+b.
m = $50
x = 200 square meters
b = $10,000
C = ($50)(200) + $10,000
C = $10,000 + $10,000
C = $20,000
Therefore, the total cost for flood damage repair for an area of 200 square meters is $20,000.
