Hi,
The cost to set up the cleaning station is $9800 and the cost of cleaning each bird is $9
 1. Write an expression that gives the total cost of cleaning x birds. C = 9x+ 9800
 2. Write the expression for the average cost per bird. <span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span> = 9 + 9800/x
3. Find the average cost per bird to clean 500 birds, 50 birds and 5 birds 
 <span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span> = {{{9+ 9800/500}}} = $128.60, <span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span> = {{{9+ 9800/50}}} $205, <span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span> = {{{9+ 9800/5}}}= $1965
