A certain business produced x rakes each month form November through February and shipped x/2 rakes at the beginning of each month from March through October. The business paid no storage costs for the rakes from November through February, but it paid storage costs of $0.30 per rake each month from March through October for the rakes that had not been shipped. In terms of x, what was the total storage cost, in dollars, that the business paid for the rakes for the 12 months form November through October?
Choices:
A) 0.40x	B) 4.20x	C) 1.40x	D) 1.60x	E) 3.20x
because we have a total of 4X   Also from Mar- Oct the rakes will be deducted by 1/8 X   so   In Apr they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 7/8   In May they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 6/8   In Jun they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 5/8   In Jul they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 4/8   In Aug they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 3/8   In Sep they pay for the storage 03 * 4X * 2/8   In Oct they pay for the storage 0.3 * 4X * 1/8   total = 0.3 * 4X * 1/8 * [ 1+2+3+4+5+6+7]   = 0.3 * X/2 * (28)   = 4.2X   (4.20x)
