This is a lot of information at once, so break down the question step by step!
1) You are told that 34.6% of Mr. Camp's class of 26 students reported that they have at least 2 siblings. Find the number of students in his class that have at least two siblings by multiplying 0.346 (the decimal form of 34.6%) by 26:
0.346 x 26 = 9 students
However, be careful! Notice that you want the number of students with fewer than 2 siblings. That means you need to subtract 9 from 26 to find the number of students with less than 2 siblings:
26 - 9 = 17 students
2) You are told that there are 1800 eighth-grade classes in the state, and the average size of the classes is 26. That means you can assume that there are 1800 classes of 26 in the state.
Since you are told that Mr. Camp's class is representative of students in the state's 8th grade classes. That means in the state, for each class of 26, 17 students (the number we figured out in step 1) have fewer than two siblings!
For each of the 1800 classes of 26, 17 students have fewer than two siblings. That means you need to multiply 1800 classes by 17 students per class to get your final answer, which is answer C:
1800 x 17 = 30,600
------
Answer: C) 30,600
What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks

____ = ______ – ___x^2 – ____y^2 – _____x + ______y
dy 3 3 3 3 3
I believe the equation is y = -3x + 0
