Answer:
The price of pretzels in 1975 = $1.80
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question we are assuming the steady rate means linear.Let x be the year and y be the price.
We need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (4.80-4.05)/(2015-2005)
=.75/10
= .075
The slope is .075
We can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-4.80 = .075(x-2015)
Distribute
y - 4.80 = .075x -151.125
Add 4.80 to each side
y - 4.80+4.80 = .075x -151.125+4.80
y = .075 x - 146.325
We want to find out how much pretzels were in 1975. Put in x=1975
y = .075(1975) -146.325
y = 148.125-146.325
y=1.80
150 is the amount of interest earned for one year because the formula of PRT is, in this case 5000 times 0.03 times one which gets you the answer of 150.
Round to whichever place is needed
Its the last one! Also if you dont know what I mean by this is, its the 4th one. You Welcome Merry Christmas
