You've written your first novel and, like many first-time authors, can't find a publisher. So you've decided to self-publish your book. You need to work out the cost of printing the book. If the cost of printing the novel includes a base cost of $1,550 plus $4 per book, write a function that represents the cost of printing x copies of the book. Type your response here: If you want to cover the printing costs by printing and selling only 50 copies of the book, at what price must you sell the book?

Cale Mckenzie · Answer 1

P (x) = 4x + 1550 < = = ur function

selling only 50 copies ...

P (50) = 4 (50) + 1550

P (50) = 200 + 1550

P (50) = 1750 ... so the printing cost for 50 copies is 1750

1750 = 50x ... x = cost of each book

1750/50 = x

35 = x ... u would have to sell each book for $ 35 <===
