( x = variable cost , y = fixed cost )
when the firm is producing 50 units the equation is :
50x + y = 320
when the firm is producing 80 units the equation is :
80x + y =380
solving the equation x=2 , y=220
therefore when the firm is producing 110 units the equation is :
110x + y
=110(2) + 220
=220 + 220
=440 Ans
not very goog in maths hope this helps .
