Answer:

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original amount would be decreasing and it's an exponential one, hence the "every year", we can determine that it's an exponential decay equation.

The exponential delay equation is y=A*(1-r)^t. The y is the remaining amount, A is the original amount, r is the rate in decimal form, and t is for years. "1-r" is for decreasing rates and "1+r" is for increasing rates.

First thing we need to do is turn the rate, 4.3%, from a percentage to a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal two places to the right, which gives you 0.043.

Now plug the numbers into the equation.

y=5,902,060*(1-0.043)^t

Simplify what's inside the parenthesis and get your final equation.

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Answer:

18.11 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car’s average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.

44,895-44,587 = 308 miles

308/17 = 18.11
