Question 6 • EF Math 12 1st Nine Weeks

The cost of printing a flyer to spread knowledge of an organization that you run is a flat rate of $9 plus $0.05 per copy. Let C represent the total cost of printing and x represent the number of copies. Write in symbolic form an equation that will relate C and x. Organize the data into a table of values. Begin with 500 copies, increase by increments of 500, and end with 2500 copies. How much would it cost to print 2500 flyers and what equation would you use?

Answer
A
C = 9 + 0.05x2500 flyers will cost $159
B
C = 9 + 0.05x2500 flyers will cost $134
C
C = 9.05x2500 flyers will cost $27,150
D
C = 9.05x2500 flyers will cost $22,625

Explanation

The total cost is the $9 flat fee plus $0.05 for each copy, so the equation is C = 9 + 0.05x. For 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, and 2,500 copies, the costs are $34, $59, $84, $109, and $134, respectively. At 2,500 copies, C = 9 + 0.05(2,500) = $134, which matches choice B.
