Alec starts up a monthly subscription potato box. It costs 18.20 dollars per month,
and comes with 16 potatoes in each box. Each subscriber may order any amount of
”luxury potatoes”, that are separate from the 16 that normally come in the box, for
an additional 5 dollars each.
(a) Write a formula for the monthly revenue, R in dollars, earned by Alec as a function
of s, the number of monthly subscribers, and n, the total number of luxury potatoes that his clients order. R(s, n) =

(b) Using your formula from above, find R(10, 3)

Respuesta :

A. The formula (mathematical function) for the monthly revenue, R, earned by Alec, R(s, n) = $18.20s + $5n.

B.  Using the formula above, the value of R(10, 3) is $197.

What is a function?

A function is an expression, rule, or law defining the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

Functions are used to define physical relationships between variables.

Data and Calculations:

Cost monthly subscription = $28.20 per box

Number of normal potatoes in each box = 16

Cost of additional luxury potatoes = $5 per potato

If the monthly revenue function, R, is given as R(s, n) where:

s = number of monthly subscribers

n = total number of luxury potatoes ordered

The monthly revenue, R, earned by Alec, R(s, n) = $18.20s + $5n.

The value of R(10, 3) is $197 ($18.20 x 10 + $5 x 3)

Thus, using the formula above, the value of R(10, 3) is $197.
