Question 250482: A company that produces bikes has costs given by function C(x)=25x +20,000 where x is the number of bikes manufactured and C(x) is measured in dollars. The avg cost to manufacture each bike is given (a line over the c) C(x)=25x +20,000 divided by x. find c (250) round to nearest dollar

C(x) = cost to produce all bicycles.
A(x) = average cost to produce one bicycle.

C(x) = 25*x + 20000

A(x) = (25*x + 20000)/x

C(250) = 25*(250) + 20000 = 26250

A(250) = 26250 / 250 = 105

C(250) = A(250) * 250 = 26250

Total cost to produce 250 bicycles is $26,250.

The average cost to produce each bicycle is $105.
