Question

Find the average cost per item when the required number of items are produced. C(x) = 19x + 1900, 1000 items What is the average cost per item?

Answer 1

$20.9

Explanation:

We have been given a formula
`C(x)=19x+1900`, which represents the cost of x items.

First of all, we will find cost of 1000 items by substituting
`x=1000` in our given formula as:

`C(1000)=19(1000)+1900`

`C(1000)=19,000+1900`

`C(1000)=20,900`

To find average cost per item, we will divide total cost by number of items as:

`\text{Average cost per item}=(\$20,900)/(1000)`

`\text{Average cost per item}=\$20.9`

Therefore, the average cost per item would be $20.9.
