Answer:
[tex]C(x)=16.99x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of staplers and C(x) be total cost in dollars of x stapler.
Cost of each stapler = $16.99
So, the formula for total cost is
Total cost = Cost of each units × Number of units
Substitute 16.99 for Cost of each units and x for number of units in the above formula.
Total cost = [tex]16.99\times x[/tex]
Total cost = [tex]16.99x[/tex]
C(x) be total cost in dollars of x stapler. So, the cost function is
[tex]C(x)=16.99x[/tex]
Therefore, the function C(x)=16.99x represents the given situation.
