So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.
In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
Answer:
(a) 51%
(b) 41%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify this problem down by realizing that the amount of girls over 200 will get us our percentage as a decimal.
Looking at this table, we can see that girls were asked. So,
