A packaging company has been offered a contract to create gift boxes for perfume/cologne. The company needs to buy a special machine to make the boxes. The machine costs $3000 and each box cost $2 for labor and materials. The perfume/cologne maker has agreed to buy each box for $5
What is the equation showing the packaging companies cost to make the boxes?
The company's cost to make the boxes can be represented by the equation:
Cost = Machine cost + Cost per box * Number of boxes
Cost = $3000 + $2 * Number of boxes.
