Answer:
Initially, you have 2573 pieces.
You use 5 pieces each minute.
Right when you start, you have 2573 pieces.
One minute after that, you have 2573 - 5 pieces.
Another minute after, you have 2573 - 2*5 pieces.
Another minute after, you have 2573 - 3*5 pieces.
And so on.
You can see the pattern here, and with this, we can find the linear equation that represents the number of pieces that you have as a function of time.
Then, if the variable t represents the number of minutes that passed since you started, we can write the equation:
f(t) = 2573 - 5*t
That represents the number of pieces that you have after t minutes.
Do u have a formula chart if not that would help you get your answer
(2129-1727)/1727=0.232
The percentage of increase is 23%.
