Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 4 feet

Given that the height of the tree increased by a constant amount each year for the next 6 years. At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

Let the rate of growing each year be g.

After 6 years height of tree = 4 + 6g

After 4 years height of tree = 4 + 4g

At the end of the 6th year, the tree was 1/5th taller than it was at the end of the 4th year.

That is

                4+6g=4+4g+\frac{4+4g}{5}\\\\4+6g=\frac{20+20g+4+4g}{5}\\\\20+30g=24+24g\\\\6g=4\\\\g=\frac{2}{3}ft/year

Option D is the correct answer.

The formula for exponential growth is y = amount(1+r)^x

Where amount would be the starting value, r would be the percentage and x would be the length of time.


The listed formula that meets that is D. y = 35(1.35)^x

What’s the markup on the couch
Nata [24]

Answer:

$163.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost of the couch is $113.00 then this is the original 100% price. To find a 45% mark up then find 145%. Remember 100+45 = 145. To find the price set up a proportion with these values:


\frac{x}{113}=\frac{145}{100}


Solve for the price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.


x(100) = 113(145)

100x = 16385

x= 163.85
