Remember that the general decay equation is:

where

is the amount after a time


is the initial amount

is the the decay percent in decimal form
The first ting we are going to do is find

by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>

.
We also know from our problem that

. Lets replace

and

in our formula:


We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that
this situation represents exponential decay.
Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for

:


Notice that

will depend on the number of ours

Answer:
$52
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Amount charged for shipping and handling = 4.5%
Let cost of order = x
Total amount charged = 54.34
However,
total. Amount charged = (total cost + handling and shipping)
54.34 = x + 0.045x
54.34 = 1.045x
Order total before shipping = 54.34 / 1.045
Order total before shipping = 52
