To determine the revenue generated for a certain number of candy sales, we need to substitute that number for x in the given function R(x). For example, if 10 candy sales are made, the revenue generated can be found as: 
R(10) = 5(10) + 6 = $56

Out of the given choices, none of them match this exact value of $56. However, we need to select the nearest whole number approximation.

The nearest whole number to $56 is $26, which is the answer choice A. Thus, the best choice is A) $26.

Solve the Problem R(x)=5x+6R ( x ) = 5 x + 6R(x)=5x+6

Solve the Problem $R ( x ) = 5 x + 6$
