$T C = 21.75 x$ $TC=21.75x$
Cost of four baskets $= $ .87$ $=$.87$

The paint cost is $= $ 14.50$ $=$ 14.50$
The basket cost is $= $ 7.25$ $=$7.25$

Total cost $= (14.50 + 7.25) \cdot x = 21.75 x$ $=(14.50+7.25)*x=21.75x$
TC $= 21.75 x$ $=21.75x$

$T C_{x = 4} = 21.75 \times 4 = $ 87$ $TC_(x=4)=21.75 xx 4= $87$
