A) 11 (32 divided by 2 = 16 | 16 minus 5 is 11)
b) 5 + x = y | 32 minus y = number of stuffed animals
c)
Veronica has 11 stuffed animals
Mariposa has 21 stuffed animals
hope this helped gl on your test!! :”)
Since the price is increasing by percentage, rather than a constant rate, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y=ab^x (a = initial value, b = growth/decay)
Since the value was $590 in the year 2000, 590 will be our a variable.
Since the value is *increasing* by 35%, add 1 and 0.35 (35% in decimal form) together to get 1.35. 1.35 is going to be your b variable.
Putting our equation together, our equation is f(x) = 590(1.35)^x
