A start-up wants to make a product at an average cost of $2.75 apiece. You can find the average cost of production by dividing the cost to produce a certain number of units, x , by the number of units. The cost of production includes a setup fee of $1,200 and a cost per unit of $1.85 Which equation can find the number of units that fit into the start-up's budget?
A
1 point 8 5 is equal to the fraction with numerator 1 comma 200 plus 2 point 7 5 x and denominator xThe total production cost for x units is the $1,200 setup fee plus $1.85 for each unit, or 1,200 + 1.85x. Average cost is total cost divided by the number of units, so set (1,200 + 1.85x)/x equal to the target average cost of $2.75. Choice C gives this equation: 2.75 = (1,200 + 1.85x)/x.
