I am pretty sure that it is B
The number 1.04 represents the rate at which the house appreciates, or increases in its price annually.
As according to the values of an exponential equation, which is represented by this: y=ab^x, the a value represents the original price, the b value represents the rate of growth/decay (if growth, you add 1 to the rate, if decay, you subtract the rate from 1), and x represents the amount of times it decays or grows.
As according to the function <span> f(x) = 242,000(1.04)^x, 242,000 is the original price and 1.04 is the rate of growth since 1 has been added to the the 4% annual growth.</span>
100feet below is your answer I think
It doesn't give the entire question, Do they want to know how many pieces were in the total cake? If so, I think it would be 384. You subtract the 3 pieces that Mindy ate and that leaves 96 that Tony had which was supposed to be 1/4 of the cake. Dividing the cake into 4 sections of 96 and multiplying would give you 384.
If they want to know how many slices of cake were left after Tony ate the fourth (96 slices), it would be 288
