Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I will assume the function is:

f(t) = 15(0.86)^t

Required

Determine the rate of decay

In an exponential function f(x) = ab^x,

The decay rate of the function is calculated as:

1 - r = b

By comparison:

b = 0.86

So, the equation becomes:

1 - r = 0.86

Make r the subject

r = 1 - 0.86

r = 0.14

<em>The rate of decay is 0.14</em>

Tom earned $72 walking dogs for 6 hours. How many total hours will it take tom to earn $96 in all? Solve using unit rates
slava [35]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Tom earned $72 walking dogs for 6 hours

amount earned = $72

time taken = 6 hours

Required

The time taken to earn $96

Step two:

let us find the unit rate of his earning

unit rate = 72/6

= 12 per hour

 

In 1 hour Tom earns $12

in x hours he will earn $96

cross multiply we have

96*1= 12x

divide both sides by 12

x= 96/12

x=8 hours
