The question is For the following function,C computes the cost in millions of dollars of implementing a city recycling project when x percent of the citizens particapte. C(x)=1.5x/100-x. Using this model approximately what is the cost if 60% ofthe citizens participate?
This is what I tried. C(60%)=1.5(60%)/100-60%, .9/66.66=.014 C=.014
Thank You for your help.
I found that I am totally lost Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! C(.6)=1.5*.6/(100-.6)
C(.6)=.9/99.4
C(.6)=.009 MILLION IS THE COST.
OR
C(.6)=1.5*.6/(100-60)
C(.6)=.9/.4
C(.6)=2.25 MILLION IS THE COST.
