Let value intially be = P

Then it is decreased by 20 %.

So 20% of P = \frac{20}{100} \times P = 0.2P

So after 1 year value is decreased by 0.2P

so value after 1 year will be = P - 0.2P (as its decreased so we will subtract 0.2P from original value P) = 0.8P-------------------------------------(1)

Similarly for 2nd year, this value 0.8P will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of 0.8P = \frac{20}{100} \times 0.8P = (0.2)(0.8P)

So after 2 years value is decreased by (0.2)(0.8P)

so value after 2 years will be = 0.8P - 0.2(0.8P)

taking 0.8P common out we get 0.8P(1-0.2)

= 0.8P(0.8)

=P(0.8)^{2}-------------------------(2)

Similarly after 3 years, this value P(0.8)^{2} will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of P(0.8)^{2}  \frac{20}{100} \times P(0.8)^{2} = (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

So after 3 years value is decreased by (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

so value after 3 years will be = P(0.8)^{2}   - (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}

taking P(0.8)^{2} common out we get P(0.8)^{2}(1-0.2)

P(0.8)^{2}(0.8)

P(0.8)^{3}-----------------------(3)

so from (1), (2), (3) we can see the following pattern

value after 1 year is P(0.8) or P(0.8)^{1}

value after 2 years is P(0.8)^{2}

value after 3 years is P(0.8)^{3}

so value after x years will be P(0.8)^{x} ( whatever is the year, that is raised to power on 0.8)

So function is best described by exponential model

y = P(0.8)^{x} where y is the value after x years

so thats the final answer

rodikova [14]

$10.71

Explanation

Step 1

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Let

x represents the money Eileen will pay if her bag weighs 63 pounds

the proportion is the same

then

\frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63}

Step 2

solve for x

\begin{gathered} \frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63} \\ 63\cdot7.14=42x \\ x=\frac{63\cdot7.14}{42} \\ x=\frac{449.82}{42} \\ x=10.71 \\  \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
