producing cell phones is represented as C=mx+b, where m is the marginal cost, x
is the number of phones produced, b
is the fixed cost, and C is the final cost. 


            a. If the
fixed cost is $75 and the marginal cost is $8, write the cost equation.

March, the total cost was $18,955. 
Calculate the number of phones   produced
