Well.. If i'm getting it right..
Let's make an equation that tells us how much money we spent in total to produce X bars:
$$
C = $18,500 + $0.85 \cdot x
$$
Now let's make an equation that tells us how much money we got for selling X bars:
$$
R = $2.10 \cdot x
$$
But that's only if I get it right...
