A furniture company misprinted a sales ad for a living room set but honors the advertised price. For each customer who purchases the living room set, the company suffers a loss of $125. Write a function to represent the company's total loss. What is the value of the function for an input of 50, and what does it represent?
A.f(x) = 125x; 6250; the number of days it will take to recuperate the total loss.
B.f(x) = 125/x; 2.5; the loss in dollars
C.f(x) = 125x; 6250; the loss in dollars
D.f(x) = 12 5/x; 2.5; the number of customers it will take to recuperate a $50 loss.
