QUESTION 1

You are helping a Grade 6 mathematics club prepare packs of pattern cards for a
school fundraising activity. A printing shop charges a fixed setup fee of R30, plus R6 per
pack printed. The club sells each pack for R10.
Let 𝒏𝒏 represent the number of packs printed and sold. 1.1 Write the expressions, in
simplified form, for the following: 1.1.1 the total printing cost, 𝐶𝐶(𝑛𝑛); (1) 1.1.2 the total
income, 𝐼𝐼(𝑛𝑛); (1)

1.1.1 The total printing cost, C(n)C(n)
C(n) = 6n+30C(n) = 6n + 30
nn = number of packs printed
R6 = variable cost per pack
R30 = fixed cost setup/printing costs

1.1.2 The total income, I(n)I(n)
Let say each pack is sold at a certain price. From the profit function context, if each
