Answer:C(x) = 2000+ 0.05 x

Step-by-step explanation: Cost (C) = fixed cost + (cost per pencil x number of pencils)

Since:

Fixed cost: $2000

Cost per pencil : $0.05

Replacing with the values given:

C(x) = 2000+ 0.05 x

Where x is the number of pencils manufactured.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
