<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

There are 3900 workers in the three main buildings downtown. Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three. There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building. How many workers are in each building?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

There are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "b" be the number of workers in smallest building

Given that Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three

number of workers in largest building = 2b

Given that There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building

Number of workers in second largest building = 500 + b

Given that there are 3900 workers in 3 buildings

b + 2b + 500 + b = 3900

4b + 500 = 3900

4b = 3900 - 500

4b = 3400

b = 850

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building

workers in largest building = 2b = 2(850) = 1700

workers in second largest building = 500 + b = 500 + 850 = 1350

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

The exponential graph is shown below.

The initial value when the time is zero is 70000. An initial value is normally shown as the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

If the initial value was to be 50000, the curve would have crossed the y-axis at 50000

The correct answer is the first statement
