A government estimates the cost to design new radar technology over a period of $m$ months. The government estimates $840,000 for equipment, $15,000 for software, and $40,000 per month for wages. Use an algebraic expression to find the total cost the government estimates when the project takes 16 months to complete.

$1,495,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above, we can infer that the first two costs for equipment and software are fixed cost, while wages is the cost that is influenced by the number of months (m).

The above implies that we would multiply number of months 'm' with $40,000.

= 840,000 + 15,000 + 40,000m

Where month (m) = 16

= 840,000 + 15,000 + 40,000(16)

= 840,000 + 15,000 + 640,000

= $1,495,000

Therefore, the total cost is $1,495,000

my guess is

this "question" looks more like a project is there any other info you can give me about this. it could be too complex for someone else to do on this website
