Question

(online) weekly warm-up quiz week 3
a coach is ordering shirts for a team.

• the coach pays a one-time fee of $24.
• the coach also pays $8 for each shirt ordered.

which function can be used to find c, the total amount the coach pays in dollars when k shirts are ordered?
f $c = 8k + 32$
g $c = 8k + 24$
h $c = 32k + 8$
j $c = 24k + 8$
○ f
○ g
○ h
○ j

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the fixed and variable costs

The one - time fee of $24 is a fixed cost (it doesn't depend on the number of shirts LXI0). The cost per shirt is $8, so the cost for \(k\) shirts is \(8k\) (this is the variable cost, depending on the number of shirts).

Step2: Form the total cost function

The total cost \(c\) is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. So, \(c=\text{variable cost}+\text{fixed cost}=8k + 24\).

Answer:

G. \(c = 8k+24\)
