Using the graph, we can estimate the total costs for the month by adding up the fixed costs and variable costs for the estimated number of customers.

Fixed costs: $4,000

Variable costs: 
- Labor: $3 per customer x 1,450 customers = $4,350 
- Supplies: $2.50 per customer x 1,450 customers = $3,625

Total costs: $4,000 + $4,350 + $3,625 = $11,975

Therefore, the best choice is C) $6,996, which is the closest option to the estimated total cost. None of the other options are even near the estimated cost.
