Answer: C.
f(x)=125x+3500


Explanation:

Given: A business spends $3500 to purchase a copy machine. The business also spends $125 per month on maintenance and supplies for the copy machine.

∴Cost of copy machine =$3500

Monthly spending on machine= $125

Thus, The total cost of the copy machine= $3500+$125 times the number of months.

Therefore, the function equation represents the total cost of the copy machine after x months will be


f(x)=3500+125*\ x


f(x)=125x+3500
