Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Two ways we can solve this problem:
1. Graphically
2. Mathematically
Because you already solved it graphically, I will show you how to do so mathematically. Of course, graphically is much much easier and more efficient in this problem.
Let's break the problem down.
First, we are given a graph which contains a slope.
To find slope, we use the technique -> rise/run
Picking 2 obvious points from the graph, we can see
1st point -> (10, 20)
2nd point -> (40, 80)
Now, let's find the slope
Now, we have an equation y = 2x, where y = number of pies and x = cups of sugar
We want to find how many cups of sugar we need to bake 80 pies. Simply substitute 80 = number of pies = y
y = 2x -> 80 = 2x
Solving for x, divide both sides by 2
40 = x
We need 40 cups of sugar.
Answer:
Option D.The decrease in the value of the car, which is 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
we have a exponential function of the form
where
y is the value of the car
x is the time in years
a is the initial value
b is the base
r is the rate of decrease
b=1+r
In this problem we have
a=$24,000 initial value of the car
b=0.92
so
0.92=1+r
r=0.92-1=-0.08=-8%-----> is negative because is a rate of decrease
