Answer:
5/12 is the final answer.
I think it is 26.18. Hope this helps. :)
So exponenetial growth or decay
it goes like this
f(t)=P(1+r)^t
r=rate of decay or grouth
if r>0 then it is grouth by r
if r<0 then it is decay
i
P=initial amount
so
given
f(x)=5500(1.65)^t
f(x)=5500(1+0.65)^t
0.65>0 so it is growing by 65%
We can find this answer by multiplying .14 by 87.6 to represent 14 cents for every mile.
87.6
<u> .14
</u>12.264
Since we are rounding to the nearest cent, that being the hundredths place, we know that it cost $12.26 to run the van that day.
