The cost (C) of producing x-hundreds of skateboards a day is given by:

The minimum point of this equation (a parabola) occurs at the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola is given by:
where a = 0.89, and b = -9.32, so...
Evaluate.
Rounded to the nearest hundreth.
Since x is in hundreds of skateboards, multiply this by 100 to get:
A daily production level of 524 skate boards daily will minimize the cost.
