Answer

$22$, or (G)

Work Step by Step

We are looking for the x at which $C(x) = 120$. $C(x) = 200e^{-0.02295x} = 120$ Isolate the exponential, and divide both sides by 200: $e^{-0.02295x} = 0.6$ Take the ln of both sides, $-0.02295x = \ln(0.6) = -0.51$ Solve for $x$ by dividing by $-0.02295$: $x = 22.26$
