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 costs, two dollars for labor and materials. The perfume/cologne maker has agreed to buy each box for five dollars, what is the equation showing the packaging companies cost to make the boxes?
Let x be the number of gift boxes the packaging company needs to make.
The cost to make one box is $2 for labor and materials.
The cost to make x boxes is 2x dollars.
The equation showing the packaging company's cost to make the boxes is 2x + 3000 dollars.
