You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Tanzania [10]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Car #1: 300/43.2 = 6.9444 gallons

(Rounded) Car #2: 300/35.9 = 8.3565 gallons

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Rounded) Car #1: 6.9444*3.19 = $22.16 to re-fill their tank

(Rounded) Car #2: 8.3565*3.19 = $26.66 to re-fill their tank

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Rounded) Difference: $26.66 - 22.15 = $4.50

To re-fill Car 2's tank is approximately $4.50 more to re-fill Car 1's tank...

Given the function g(x) = 4(3)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.

LenaWriter [7]

Easy peasy

the average rate of change in section A is the slope from (1,g(1)) to (2,g(2))
the average rate of chagne in section B is the slope from (3,g(3)) to (4,g(4))

A.

section A
g(1)=4(3)^1=12
g(2)=4(3)^2=4(9)=36
slope=(36-12)/(2-1)=24/1=24

section B
g(3)=4(3)^3=4(27)=108
g(4)=4(3)^4=4(81)=324
slope=(324-108)/(4-3)=216/1=216

section A has an average rate of change of 24
section B has an average rate of change of 216
