I am having trouble coming up with separate linear models? Any help would be appreciated!
The Problem looks like this:
Two people decide to open a business reconditioning toner cartridges for copy machines. They rent a building for $7000 per year and estimate that building maintenance, taxes, and insurance will cost $6500 per year. Each person wants to make $12 per hour in the first year and will work 10 hours per day for 260 days of the year. Assume that it costs $28 to restore a cartridge and that the restored cartridge can be sold for $45.
1. Write a linear function for the total cost C to operate the business and restore n cartridges during the first year, not including the hourly wage the owners wish to earn.
2. Write a linear function for the total revenue R the business will earn during the first year by selling n cartridges.
Thanks!!
