Answer:

A: 18 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be 18 pounds because if you take the amount needed to make the cupcakes and multiply it by the number of baskets Sandra wants to make (1.3 x 6 = 7.8) and then add it to how much flour is needed for 6 baskets of pies (1.7 x 6 = 10.2). So when you add the amount of flour needed for 6 baskets of pies and cupcakes the answer is 18 pounds.

Answer:

A. 18 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Each gift basket Sandra makes requires 3.0 lb [1.3 lb + 1.7 lb] of flour. If she wishes to make 6 gift baskets, she'll need a total of 18.0 lb [3.0 lb per basket × 6 baskets] of flour.

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation:

lyudmila [28]

Let value intially be = P

Then it is decreased by 20 %.

So 20% of P = $\frac{20}{100} \times P = 0.2P$

So after 1 year value is decreased by 0.2P

so value after 1 year will be = P - 0.2P (as its decreased so we will subtract 0.2P from original value P) = 0.8P-------------------------------------(1)

Similarly for 2nd year, this value 0.8P will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of 0.8P = $\frac{20}{100} \times 0.8P = (0.2)(0.8P)$

So after 2 years value is decreased by (0.2)(0.8P)

so value after 2 years will be = 0.8P - 0.2(0.8P)

taking 0.8P common out we get 0.8P(1-0.2)

= 0.8P(0.8)

$=P(0.8)^{2}$ -------------------------(2)

Similarly after 3 years, this value $P(0.8)^{2}$ will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of $P(0.8)^{2} \frac{20}{100} \times P(0.8)^{2} = (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

So after 3 years value is decreased by $(0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

so value after 3 years will be = $P(0.8)^{2} - (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

taking $P(0.8)^{2}$ common out we get $P(0.8)^{2}(1-0.2)$

$P(0.8)^{2}(0.8)$

$P(0.8)^{3}$ -----------------------(3)

so from (1), (2), (3) we can see the following pattern

value after 1 year is P(0.8) or $P(0.8)^{1}$

value after 2 years is $P(0.8)^{2}$

value after 3 years is $P(0.8)^{3}$

so value after x years will be $P(0.8)^{x}$ ( whatever is the year, that is raised to power on 0.8)

So function is best described by exponential model

$y = P(0.8)^{x}$ where y is the value after x years

so thats the final answer

Which of the following investments could be represented by the function A = 250(1 + 0.08/12)12 × 4?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

hello,

the first term is 250 so this is the initial invested amount

$(1+\dfrac{0.08}{12})^{12}=(1+\dfrac{8\%}{12})^{12}$

is to compute 8% annual interest compounded monthly (there are 12 months in a year)

and then multiply by 4 means that it is computed for 4 years so

finally the answer is

$250 is invested at 8% annual interest compounded monthly for 4 years

hope this helps
