The 2nd option is the answer :)!
Answer:



Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following recursive formula:

And consider 
a2

a3

a4

Markup =35%
Model train cost =100
So 135%=100
1%=100/135
100%=100/35)*100=74.07
Original cost =74.07
B is the Y-intercept or where the graph crosses the y-axis. they provide you with a few things which can help you figure this out. they give you the values of x and y in a table
X | Y
2 | -5
4 | -9 The difference between each Y value is 4...so, I add 4 to the -5
6 | -13 and get -1...going up another value for the X would be at 0. This leaves me with an ordered pair of (0,-1).....thus, the value of b is -1.
Have you never added 2-digit numbers?
35 +27 = (30 +20) +(5 +7) = 50 +12 = 62
35/100 +27/100 = (35 +27)/100 = 62/100
0.35 +0.27 = 0.62
The basic idea, taught in 3rd grade, is to line up the decimal points of the numbers, add enough zeros on the right to make the numbers all have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point, then add in the usual way. The sum has the decimal point aligned with the rest of the numbers.
