The estimated population, if the rate is a growth rate is 34696 populations
The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 5657 populations
<h3> Exponential functions</h3>
The standard exponential equation is expressed as 
where;
- a is the intercept
- b is the growth rate
- x is the time taken
If the initial population is 15,000 with a rate of 15%, then;
a) If the rate is a growth rate, the estimated population will be expressed as;

The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 34696 populations
b) If the rate is a decline rate, the estimated population will be expressed as;

The estimated population, if the rate is a decline rate is 5657 populations

Answer:
x=41
y=139
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 180 since they form a straight line
y is 3x +16
y = 3x +16
Replace y in the first equation
x+3x +16 = 180
Combine like terms
4x +16 = 180
Subtract 16 from each side
4x+16-16 =180-16
4x =164
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 =164/4
x = 41
y = 3x +16
y = 3*41 +16 = 123+16 =139
Ab^2 (-bc & +bc would cancel out) but then -ab so the answer would just be ab
Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.
Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3
3/5 = x/3
cross multiply
3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)
3(3) = x(5)
9 = 5x
Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides
9/5 = 5x/5
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
1.8 in. is your answer

This is because after the markups, A will cost 226.80 compared to C's 200. You can then divide the C cost by the A cost to see what percentage would be required to get lower. <span />
