Cost to make w wing nuts is
C=0.07w+%2B+13.3
For w=375, then
C=0.07w+%2B+13.3
C=0.07%28375%29+%2B+13.3
C=39.55
The cost to make 375 wing nuts is $39.55.
The average cost is the total cost divided by the total number of wing nuts.
A=C%2F375
A=39.55%2F375
A=0.105
The average cost is about 10.5 cents per wing nut, rounded off.
