A=Pe^(rt)

P = 800g

t = 8 years

A = 450g

r = This is what we will try and find to start with

450=800e^(r*8)

After running the math through a calculator, we end with r = -0.07192

Now we just re-input this information into our equation: A=800e^(-0.07192*16)

A=800e^(1.15072)

Now we will re-write the equation using the negative exponent rule:

A = 800 1/e^1.15072

Combine right side:

A = 800/e^1.15072

Then do the math:

A = 253.12709836......

That will give us A = 253 (rounded to the whole number)

I hope this helps! :)

Alan bought 20 yards of fencing. He used 5.9 yards in one garden and 10.3 in another. Write remaining as a fraction in simplest
Over [174]
Its 3.8 because if you add 5.9 and 10.3 is 16.2, and if you subtract it by 20, it should equal 3.8.
