question 15
you and your friends want to start your own business doing yard work, where you will clean yards the fargo - moorhead area. after some research, you realize that the total cost of cleaning y yards is given by the function
c(y)=5.50y + 1060
when the unit price to clean one yard is p dollars per yard, you anticipate a demand of y yards to be cleaned, according to the demand equation
3p+5y = 400
given this information, what is the total cost of cleaning 10 yards?
round your answer appropriately and input just the number that you get. do not include any labels or units.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the cost - function

The cost function for cleaning $y$ yards is given as $C(y)=5.5y + 1060$.

Step2: Substitute the value of $y$

We need to find the cost of cleaning 10 yards. Substitute $y = 10$ into the cost - function.
$C(10)=5.5\times10+1060$.

Step3: Calculate the result

First, calculate $5.5\times10 = 55$. Then, $C(10)=55 + 1060=1115$.

Answer:

1115
