A manufacturer needs to pay $300 to start making a certain new product. Besides the initial costs of $300, this product will also cost $18 per unit. The manufacturer wants to write an inequality to determine when the average cost per unit will be $24 or less. Which inequality determines how many units (x) of the product need to be produced for the average cost to be $24 or less?

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Cost

Making a certain new product costs $300 plus $18 per product.

The total cost for x products is given by:

300 + 18x

To get the average cost, we divide the total cost by the number of products manufactured:

If the manufacturer wants to keep the average cost at $24 or less:

This is the required inequality

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

hope this !
