Answer:
[tex]C=375+0.025d[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
'C' represent total cost of lease. 'd' represents cost of sales in dollars.
Cost of 1 square foot of building = $0.75
Total area of the building = 500 square feet.
Sales tax on the total sales = 2.5%
Now, cost of 500 square feet area = Cost of 1 square foot × Total area
Cost of 500 square feet area = [tex]0.75\times 500=\$375[/tex]
Now, sales tax is 2.5 of total sales 'd'. This gives,
Sales tax = [tex]2.5\%\times d=\frac{2.5}{100}d=0.025d[/tex]
Now, total cost is the sum of least amount and total sales tax.
Total cost = Least amount + Sales tax
⇒ [tex]C = 375+0.025d[/tex]
