Question

In order to write the total cost as a function of one variable, we must find a relationship between X and  Y  Since the company prints X books in each of the Y printing runs, the total number of books printed is XY, so we must have

XY= ____.                   . 

We can use this to express Y as a function of X.

A company anticipates there will be a demand for 20,000 copies of a certain book during the
next year/. It costs the company $0.50 to store a book for 1 year. Each time it must print
additional books, it costs $200 to set up the equipment.
NOTE: We assume that the demand is uniform.

⚫ x = number of books printed during each printing run
⚫ y = number of printing runs
