Answer:

$61.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The price last week was an unknown. We will call it x. x is an entire amount, so it is 100% of x.

This week, the price is 15% lower. Since 100% - 15% = 85%, the price this week is 85% of what it was last week. Last week it was x, so this week, the price is 85% of x.

85% of x = $52

0.85x = $52

Divide both sides by 0.85:

0.85x/0.85 = $52/0.85

x = $61.1764...

Answer: $61.18

Suppose a set of data about the spread (in hundreds of acres) of a food-borne bacteria (after t weeks) in lettuce has the follow
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A sinusoidal model would be used

The kind of function that have consistency in the periodic rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of model that would be used is sinusoidal model and this is because there is periodic change in the values given ( i.e the rate of changes given )

For percentage rate of changes :

starting from 0.9% there is an increase to 1.3% then a decrease to 1.1% and a further decrease to 1% before an increase to 1.3% and another decrease to 1%

For Average rate of changes:

starting from 2.9 there is a decrease to 2.4, then an increase to 3.7 and another decrease to 3.1 followed by an increase to 3.6 and a decrease back to 3.2

This relation ( sinusoidal model ) is best suited for a linear model because there is a periodic rate of change in the functions

The kind of function that have consistency in the period rate of change is the Average rate of changes
