the number of hours per day that the factory operates affects the amount it costs to produce each Pez dispenser. The table
gives values for how long the factory operates in a given day, in hours, and the corresponding cost, in dollars per unit, to
make each Pez dispenser. The manager notices that as x increases, the cost values decrease and then increase. So, the

constraints. Of the following, what is the minimum value of C  x  , to the nearest cent, based on the model?
