Solve the problem.Assume that the annual sales of a small manufacturer can be modeled by a linear function and that sales were $11,500 in 1982 and $80,000 in 1987. Let x = 0 represent 1982 and f(x) represent annual sales, and write a formula for f(x).

A. f(x) = 68,500x + 11,500
B. f(x) = 13,700x + 80,000
C. f(x) = 13,700x + 11,500
