Percent decrease=decrease/original times 100
decrease=23.5-21.2=2.3
original=23.5

percent decrease=2.3/23.5 times 100=0.0978 times 100=9.8%

Answer: B. 9.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to use proportions

since 23.5 is the 100% = 23.5 inches /100 %

For 21.2 inches =21.2inches /x%

23.5/100 =21.2/x

Solving for x:

x = 21.2 / (23.5/100)

x = 90.2%

21.1 inches are 90.2% of 23.5 inches.

So, the percent decrease is:

100% - 90.21 % = 9.8 %

The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function C(x)=10x+900 .
Stella [2.4K]

For the given cost equation we have:

a) Fixed cost is $900.

b) For making 25 items the cost is $1150.

c) D: x ∈ [0, 150]

   R: c ∈ [900, 2400]

<h3>Working with the cost equation.</h3>

Here we know that the cost equation is:

c(x) = 10*x + 900.

First, we want to get the fixed cost, it is given by evaluating the function in x = 0.

c(0) = 10*0 + 900 = 900

The fixed cost is 900.

b) Now we want to get the cost for making 25 items, to get this, we just evaluate in x = 25.

c(25) = 10*25 + 900 = 250 + 900 = 1150

c) Now, if the maximum cost is 2400, then the maximum number of items that we can make is x₀, such that:

c( x₀) = 2400 = 10*x₀ + 900

Solving for x₀ we get:

x₀ = (2400 - 900)/10 = 150

Now we want to get the range and domain.

We know that we can make between 0 and 150 items, so the domain is:

D: x ∈ [0, 150]

For the range, we know that the fixed cost for 0 items is 900, and the maximum cost is 2400, then the range is:

R: c ∈ [900, 2400]
