C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the original production be x. A 30% increase means 1.3x = 9100. Solving for x gives x = 9100 / 1.3 = 7000.

AI explanation

Let the production one month ago be P. An increase of 30 percent means the current production of 9,100 equals 1.30 multiplied by P. Solving for P gives 9,100 divided by 1.30, which equals 7,000. The result is 7,000.
