A devastating freeze in California’s Central Valley in January 2007 wiped out approximately 75% of the state’s citrus crop. It turns out that the cost for a box of oranges is a function of the percentage of the citrus crop that was frozen, i. e. =() c
=
g
(
P
)
, where
c
is the price of a box of oranges and
P
is the percentage of the citrus crop that was frozen. When only 20% of the crop was frozen, the price for a box of oranges was $11.58. However, the price per box was $25.32 when 80% of the crop was frozen.
