Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is -4/3.
3 1/4 ounces = 3.25 Ounces.
3.25 x 5 = 16.25 ounces (16 1/4 ounces)
I see this as the difference in their current years is 12, and the difference between the number of years they both age in human years is 3, so after 4 human years they become the same age.
The rigth equation to anticipate the profit after t years is p(t) = 10,000 (1.075)^t
So, given that both store A and store B follow the same equations but t is different for them, you can right:
Store A: pA (t) 10,000 (1.075)^t
Store B: pB(t'): 10,000 (1.075)^t'
=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075^t / 1.075^t'
=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075 ^ (t - t')
And t - t' = 0.5 years
=> pA(t) / pB(t') = 1.075 ^ (0.5) = 1.0368
or pB(t') / pA(t) = 1.075^(-0.5) = 0.964
=> pB(t') ≈ 0.96 * pA(t)
Which means that the profit of the store B is about 96% the profit of store A at any time after both stores have opened.
The answer for this one is 39
