To answer this you need to make simple thought experiment. Since the number of sales after time passes cannot go negative (note that rate at which copies are sold can drop over time but total number cannot) that means that you are adding number of sales at first hour and during first hour.
first option cannot be the answer because you are subtracting 100 copies to total number of sold copies which is not logical.
The answer is D) s(x) = 100 + 12(x-1)
after 1 hour (if you replace x with 1 in equation above) you will get 100 copies which matches conditions in the text.
Y would equal 0. 2x2=4 and 4-4=0.
i speak Russian but can’t understand this very well, the instructions aren’t really clear, what’s the translation?
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
It is subtracting the current number by 1/2 OR you can divide by 2. each time.
32 / 2= 16
16 / 2=8
8/2=4
4/2=2
2/2=1
Hope this helped!
