The cost per CD is $3.15, and $3500 is the setup cost for a run.
C(N) = setup cost + cost per CD * N

For the second part, you'll have 4 * C(N) = $45,000.

the first part is right but the second part is supposed to be equal to 2460

What do you mean, the second part is supposed to be equal to 2460?  The equation is correct, you need to solve for the value of N that makes it true.
