A virus is spreading around Summerfield. At the moment, 800 people are infected. If the virus is spreading at a rate of 15% each
day, how many people in all will have caught the virus in 12 days? Write an equation to represent the situation. *
A y=800(0.85)^12
B y=800(0.15)^12
C y=800(1.15)^12
D y=0.85(800)^12
E y=0.15(800)^12
F y=1.15(800)^12
G y=(0.85•800)^12
H y=(0.15•800)^12
I y=(1.15•800)^12
The answer is the third option "10; it represents the hourly wage for the worker." 10 would be the slope and if x represents hours then 10 would represent the amount of money the worker would get every hour.
