Answer:
P(t) = 3000 * 4^(t/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
There is more than one way to get an exponential function out of the information given. The way the question is worded, however, seems to suggest the following type of answer:
One general form of the exponential function is y = a·bx, where a is the initial value, and b is the growth or decay factor. So right away we can say that a = 2300.
Now for the growth factor. When something is increasing or decreasing by a certain percentage, we are adding or subtracting that percentage to the 100% (which is equal to 1) that exists currently. So here we're increasing by 11%, or 0.11. Then the growth factor b is (1 + 0.11), or 1.11.
20% of x=6
20/100 of x=6
20x= 600
x=30
38% of 30=11.4
Answer: 13
Step-by-step explanation:
5+2x
When x=4
5+2(4)
5+8
= 13
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
