Math Problem Statement
A biscuit factory's variable cost per month in hundreds of dollars are given by the equation q
1 2 0 , where q represents batches of biscuits. The company incurs a fixed cost of $ 3 6 2 0 . Determine the total cost function. How many biscuits need to be produced to minimize the total cost. 1 batches of biscuits Now determine the average cost function. Based on the batches of biscuits that minimizes the total cost, what is the average cost for biscuits? ( round to the nearest dollar ) $
