How to find Average Variable Cost?

I'm having a little trouble with one question. "given ATC=$300, TFC=$2000, and TC=$6000, find AVC." If someone could at least give me the formula so I can find the answer I would appreciate it. Thanks

    ATC=TC/Q then

    Q=TC/ATC

    Q=6000/300

    Q=20

    TVC=total variable cost

    TVC=TC-TFC

    TVC=6000-2000

    TVC=4000

    AVC=TVC/Q

    AVC= 4000/20

    AVC=200

    For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/vzDDh

    When output= 0, all costs are fixed cost=800, but all average costs are undetermined. When output=1, fixed cost= AFC= 800, AVC=200/1=200,AC=1000. When output=2,fixed cost=800,AFC=800/2=400, AVC=450/2=225, AC=1250/2=625.

    Figure Q first. 6,000/300 = 20

    then take total fixed cost and subtract from total cost to get variable cost. 6,000 - 2,000 = 4,000

    divide by Q to get AVC of 200
