Answer:
(a)96.77%
(b)3.23%
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the Michaelis-Menten equation which is used to model biochemical reactions:
Dividing both sides by 
![\dfrac{v}{V_{max}}=\dfrac{[S]}{K_M + [S]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7Bv%7D%7BV_%7Bmax%7D%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5BS%5D%7D%7BK_M%20%2B%20%5BS%5D%7D)
Where:

Answer:
-12 > -24
Step-by-step explanation:
When the numbers are negative the number that is closer to zero is the greatest
The equation of the car rental company in the form y = kx is; y = 18.50x
The equation y = kx is such that;
- k = constant of proportionality.
In essence; to determine the constant of proportionality, k in this case;
Since the company charges, $55.50 for 3 days; we have;
By evaluation k = $55.50/3
A constant rate of change means the variation in the dependent variable as dependent on the independent variable is constant
