The cost of the lemonade stand is $ 30.

The number of lemonade cups is x.

The price of each cup of lemonade is $ 0.25.

The cost function can be determined as,


\begin{gathered} c(x)=average\cos t\text{ of lemonade stand}+\text{price of each cup} \\ =(30)/(x)+0.25 \\ =(30+0.25x)/(x) \end{gathered}

Thus, option (A) is the correct option.
