DVDs can be made in a factory in New Mexico at the rate of 20
DVDs per \$3, but the factory costs \$80,000 to build.
If they make 1 million DVDs, what is the unit cost per
DVD?
DVDs can be made in a factory in Colorado at the rate of 10
DVDs per \$1.50, but the factory costs \$100,000 to build.
If they make 1 million DVDs, what is the unit cost per
DVD?
How much can a buyer save on a million DVDs by buying
DVDs from  New Mexico instead of DVDs from Colorado?
Find an equation for the cost of making $x$ number of DVDs
in the factory in New Mexico.
