1. alex is making puppets for a show. he bought all the string needed for $125. it costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet. what is the total cost to make 50 puppets?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify fixed and variable costs

Fixed cost (string) = $125, variable cost per puppet = $18, number of puppets = 50.

Step2: Calculate total variable cost

Total variable cost = $18 × 50 = $900.

Step3: Calculate total cost

Total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost = $125 + $900 = $1025.

Answer:

The total cost to make 50 puppets is $1025.
