You are reviewing a model your company has to calculate the cost to modify one of your software packages for individual usage. You need to update the model due to inflation and changes in the industry, and you have developed a transform that does exactly this. In particular, the updated cost is calculated by 𝑈(𝑥) = 1.2𝐶 (𝑥) − 250 where 𝐶(𝑥) is the original cost. If a customer had originally been quoted a cost of $500 for modifying 3 software packages, what would the updated cost be?
