In certain situations, it is necessary to weigh the benefit

In certain situations, it is necessary to weigh the benefit of pursuing a certain goal against the cost of achieving that goal. For instance, suppose that to remove x% of the pollution from an oil spill, it costs C thousands of dollars, where C(x) = 13x 100-x What happens as x→ 100? Is it possible remove all the pollution?
