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

Answer:

$y = 40000(1.02)^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 40000$ -- Initial population

$r = 2\%$ --- Rate

Required

Determine the population in 8 years

The question shows an exponential distribution and the final population will be calculated using:

$y = a(1 + r)^x$

Where x is the number of years.

So, we have:

$y = 40000(1 + 2\%)^8$

Convert % to decimal

$y = 40000(1 + 0.02)^8$

$y = 40000(1.02)^8$

(b) is correct
