    A peanut vendor has initial start up costs of $7600 and variable costs of $0.70 per bag of peanuts. What is the cost function?

    We set up the cost function C(b) where b is the number of bags:
    C(b) = Cost per bag * b + Start up costs

    Plugging in our numbers, we get:
    C(b) = 0.70b + 7600
