er widget is d dollars. If a customer's order is for at least w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is decreased by c cents for each widget ordered over w widgets. A customer's total cost is t.

Answer:

piecewise function

Step-by-step explanation:

A factory manufactures widgets based on customer orders.

If a customer's order is for less than w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is d dollars. customer order < w widgets

If a customer's order is for at least w widgets, the customer's cost per widget is decreased by c cents for each widget ordered over w widgets.

customer order > w widgets

So here we have two different conditions . we can represent two or more functions using piecewise functions

Hence piecewise function would be the best model.
