part: 1 / 2
part 2 of 2
(b) write an equation that represents the total cost, c, for producing x tiles for one day.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify variable x

x is the number of tiles produced daily.

Step2: Total cost formula

Fixed cost + (cost per tile * number of tiles) = C.

Step3: Substitute values

C = 2300 + 0.50x.

Answer:

(a) Let x represent the number of tiles produced in a day.
(b) C = 2300 + 0.50x
