You can start by writing equations with the given information

1) You know that together, Mindy and Troy ate 9, so you can write

M+T=9

2) Then, it says that Mindy ate 3, so M=3

3) Troy ate 1/4 of the total cake, however we don't know what the amount of the total cake is, so we can represent it as x, T=1/4x

4) Plug in these equations into the first equation, 3+1/4x=9

5) Solve for X, Subtract 3 from both sides to get 1/4x=6

6) Divide 1/4 on both sides, x=(6÷1/4)

x=24

Hope this helped :)

The equation you should first write, where m is the number of pieces Mindy ate, t is the number of pieces Troy ate, and 9 represents the number of pieces they ate together, would be:


m + t = 9


Next, you can plug in the other information you were given. Mindy ate three pieces, so plug in 3 for m. Troy ate 1/4 of the entire cake, so plug in 1/4c for t:


3 + 1/4c = 9


^That is an equation you could use from just plugging in the information from the problem. To solve, subtract 3 from each side to isolate the variable:


1/4c = 6


Finally, divide each side by 1/4. When you need to divide by a fraction, you can always multiply by its reciprocal to get the same results. That means dividing each side by 1/4 is the same as multiplying each side by 4:


c = 6 * 4


c = 24


There were 24 total pieces of cake.

Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 29% each week. The following function represents
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option A. f(x)=86[1.04]^{x} ; grows approximately at a rate of 0.4% daily

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=86(1.29)^{x}

where

f(x) the number of weeds in the garden

x ----> the number of weeks

Calculate how quickly the weeds grow each day

Remember that a week is equal to seven days

so

f(x)=86(1.29)^{\frac{x}{7}}

Using the law of exponents

b^(x/a) = b^(x*(1/a)) = (b^(1/a))^x

so

f(x)=86[(1.29)^{\frac{1}{7}}]^{x}

f(x)=86[1.04]^{x}

therefore

The rate is approximately

1.04=1+r

r=1.04-1=0.04=4% daily
