Ella Cameron · Answer 1

I = 60 + 18k

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The function for number of loaves, N that Moses bake

⇒ N (k) = 10 + 3k

here,

k is the kilograms of floor received

and,

Income in dollars, I (x) = 6x

here, x is the number of loaves baked

thus,

when k kilograms of flour is received,

x = N (k) = 10 + 3k

substituting x in income function,

we get

I = 6 (10 + 3k)

or

I = 60 + 18k
