Question
Assume that each situation can be described by a linear
function.
It costs Ace Electronics Company $1900 to manufacture 10 VCRs
and $2200 to manufacture 16 VCRs. At this rate, what would be
the cost of manufacturing 25 VCRs?

Answer
This means if we take $2200 - $1900 = $300,
that is the price of 16-10=6 VCRs.

That means each VCR made at one time is 300/6 = 50.
For 10 VCRs, that means the cost of individuals is 500,
so the other 1900-500 = 1400 is basic cost.

This can be checked at on 16 VCRs to see if the same basic cost is found.

Once this has been done, take 1400 + 5x where x = 25.
