<u>Answer:</u> 5 years!
<u>Reasoning:</u>
Year 1: 2700 x .70=1890
Year 2: 1890 x .70= 1323
Year 3: 1323 x .70= 926.1
Year 4: 926.1 x .70= 648.27
Year 5: 648.27 x .70=453.79
9 pairs.
If 4 pairs of socks cost $10.00 and you have $22.50 to spend then you can buy 9 pairs of socks leaving you with $0.00 left over.
Each pair of socks cost $2.50.
Therefore, the only statement that is equivalent to <em>"the </em><em>price decreased</em><em> by </em>
<em>"</em> is:
<u>F. The price is now </u><u>66, 2/3% </u><u>of what it was before</u>
<u />

Given that the original price of something decreased by 1/3, it means:
the original price is reduced by one-third.
- One-third is not equal to half of the price.
- 1/3 of the original price would be
33.3% less of the original price.
- This means that the new price would be: <em><u>100 - 33 = 66% of the </u></em><em><u>original price.</u></em> This shows a reduction in price. The price would drop.
- 1/3 is more than a quarter (1/4).
<em>Any option showing or suggesting an increase is definitely the wrong answer.</em>
Therefore, the only statement that is equivalent to <em>"the </em><em>price decreased</em><em> by </em>
<em>" </em>are:
<u><em>F. The price is now </em></u><u><em>66, 2/3% </em></u><u><em>of what it was before</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function is represented by function,

Where a is the y intercept and b is the growth factor.
The graph passes through (0,1) which is our y intercept so a=1
Know let find b.
The graph pass through (1,3) so plug in 1 for x and 3 for y.


So our base function is

In order for this function to shrink, we must shift the y intercept such that it is less than 1 but greater than -1.
So the only option is

Because 1/2<1
