Suppose the value $R(d)$ of $d$ dollars in euros is given by $R(d)=\frac{5}{6} d$.
The cost $P(n)$ in dollars to purchase and ship $n$ purses is given by $P(n)=55 n+23$.
Write a formula for the cost $Q(n)$ in euros to purchase and ship $n$ purses.

Answer

$\boxed{Q(n) = 45.83n + 19.17}$ is the cost in euros to purchase and ship n purses.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let's denote the cost in dollars to purchase and ship n purses as $P(n) = 55n + 23$.

Step 2 ：The conversion rate from dollars to euros is given by $R(d) = \frac{5}{6}d$.

Step 3 ：We can substitute $P(n)$ into $R(d)$ to get the cost in euros, which gives us $Q(n) = R(P(n)) = \frac{5}{6}P(n)$.

Step 4 ：Substituting $P(n)$ into the equation gives us $Q(n) = \frac{5}{6}(55n + 23)$.

Step 5 ：Simplifying the equation gives us $Q(n) = 45.83n + 19.17$.

Step 6 ：$\boxed{Q(n) = 45.83n + 19.17}$ is the cost in euros to purchase and ship n purses.
