John manufactures household furniture. his start-up costs, including tools, plans, and advertising, total $5000. labor and materials for each piece of furniture total $350, and his production costs are the sum of his start-up costs plus the cost of labor and materials. if john makes f pieces of furniture, what will be his production costs, c, in dollars?

c = $5000+$350f

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires you to express John's production costs, c, in the form of an equation. The equation should include all other variables affecting his production costs.

To get John's production costs, c, we need to add his start-up costs to the costs of labor and materials for each piece of material.

The variable f should be multiplied to $350 dollars as the number of furniture pieces affects the cost of labor and materials, thus effecting total production costs, c.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
