Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s first subtract 4 from 20 to see how much was lost.

20-4=16

Now, we see that 16 is a certain percent of twenty that we want to find. When talking about percents, the word “is” represents an equal sign. So, we can write this equation. We will have p represent our prevent.

16=20p (16 is a certain percent of 20)

Now, we solve by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate the p.

p=0.8

0.8 is 80% or 4/5, so 4/5 of the dam water has been lost.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Help with #9 linked above! Please help!

y = A(Bx - C)ⁿ + D

A is a vertical stretch (or shrink if |A| < 1)

B is a vertical shrink (or stretch if |B| < 1)

C is a shift to the right (or left if C is negative) → notice that Bx - C is "-C" so to take the opposite

D is a shift up (or down if D is negative)

when C = -3, it is a shift to the left 3 units

when D = -7, it is a shift down 7 units

Answer: B
