Question

Karen owns a seafood restaurant. She orders trout from an online retailer. Each pound of trout costs $30 and the company charges a $2 fee for shipping the order. However, if Karen orders 10 or more pounds, the Trout costs only &24 per pound, but the shipping fee is $6. Which piecewise function models the cost of x pounds of Trout?

Answer 1

Let, number of pounds of trout is x and their price is C.

For, x < 10 :

Price per pound is 30 .

C = 30x + 2     ....1 )

For, x ≥ 10 :

Price per pound is 24 .

C = 24x + 6     ....2 )

Therefore, total cost is :

$C =\ \left \{ {{30x+2 \ \ \ \ x<10} \atop {24x +6 \ \ \ \ x \ge 10}} \right.$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

30x+2, 0<x<10

24x+6, x≥10
