Answer:
the slope is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$39,851.25
Step-by-step explanation:
If the sales increase at a rate of 9% per year, this means it will be 109% of the previous year's value since 100% + 9% = 109%
109% in decimal form = 109/100 = 1.09
Therefore, the exponential function is:
, where
is the number of years
So when
,

After 8 years, annual sales = $39,851.25
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
(original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00
At the other store,
$29 = 0.58b
$29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate
Then Julia's total spending is
a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00
Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.
