f(x) represents the average cost in dollars for a company
x represents the number of copies of comic produced by company.
Total cost in dollars for a company = 80,000 + 0.2x

0.2x indicates that it spends $0.2 on material to produce each copy.
Use conversion:
1 dollars = 100 cents
0.2 dollars = 20 cents.
