Question

When Arianna left her house,her cell phone was 45% charged started losing charge at a constant rate. 4 hours after leaving her house, the battery had 15% remaining battery life. Write an equation for B in terms of t representing the charge remaining in Arianna battery as a percentage t hours after Arianna left her house

Answer 1

Answer:

B = 3.75t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial charge of Arianna's phone = 45%

the charge remaining in Arianna battery = 15%

If after 4hours of leaving her house, the battery had 15% remaining battery life, then the battery is discharging at the rate of ( 15% / 4hours) 3.75% per hour.

Thus, the charge remaining in Arianna's battery after she left her house is given by;

B = 3.75t

where;

t is time in hours

B is the percentage of charge remaining
