Answer:  The correct option is

(A) 7.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that for a school fundraiser, Jeff sold large boxes of candy for three dollars each and small boxes of candy for two dollars each.

Also, Jeff sold 37 boxes in all for total of $96.

We are to find the number of large boxes more than that of small boxes.

Let x and y represents the number of large boxes and small boxes respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=37~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\3x+2y=96~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 2 and subtracting from equation (ii), we get

(3x+2y)-(2x+2y)=96-37\times2\\\\\Rightarrow x=96-74\\\\\Rightarrow x=22.

From equation (i), we get

22+y=37\\\\\Rightarrow y=37-22\\\\\Rightarrow y=15.

We have,

x-y=22-15=7.

Thus, there are 7 more large boxes than small boxes.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

  60

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function, the growth factor is "a", the base of the exponent. When the exponent is increased by 1, the value is multiplied by "a".

  f(7) = a·f(6) = 4·15

  f(7) = 60

_____

As you know, the exponent signifies repeated multiplication. So, an increase of 1 in the exponent means the base is part of the product one more time:

  a^6 = a·a·a·a·a·a

  a^7 = a·a·a·a·a·a·a = a·(a^6)
