Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A health food company sells packs of assorted nuts.

The company incurs a monthly fixed cost of $1,400 for ingredients and raw materials plus packaging costs of $1 per bag.

We are asked to find the expression that represents the total cost (y) of manufacturing x bags of nuts in a month.

we know that the total cost is equal to amount spend on ingredients plus packaging cost of 'x' bags.

Hence, the expression of Total cost is:

$y=1400+1\times x\\\\y=1400+x$
