The total cost for producing 10 items is $1610, which includes the fixed cost of $430. The variable cost for producing 10 items is $1610 - $430 = $1180. The cost per item is $1180 / 10 = $118. Therefore, the total cost C(x) is the fixed cost plus $118 times the number of items, or C(x) = 118x + 430.
