Answer:

y = (10x + 600)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average cost, we must divide the total cost by the number of people.

The number of meals served will equal the number of people, since everybody gets just 1 meal.

Each meal is 10 dollars, plus the 600 rental fee.

The total cost will be the meal prices plus the fee, all divided by the number of people/number of meals, or x.
