One of the ways to find the answer is to find how much 1 percent of 150 is. To do that we just have to divide 150 by 100:
150 / 100 = 1.5
Now we can divide 9 by 1.5 to know how much percent of 150 it is:
9 / 1.5 = 6
Let's check it:
150 * 6% = 150 * 6/100 = 15 * 6/10 = 3 * 6/2 = 18/2 = 9
It's correct then :)
-15 and -2 don’t make +17
15,9,8 can be divided by 3
so, the greatest number of fruit in each basket is 3
We will see that the exponential decay function is:
f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x
<h3>
How to find the exponential decay?</h3>
The general exponential decay is:
f(x) = A*(1- r)^x
Where:
- A is the initial value.
- r is the rate of decay in decimal form.
- x is the variable, in this case is the time.
Here we know that the initial value is 175, and the rate of decay is 20%. To get this in decimal form, we just divide it by 100%.
20%/100% = 0.2
Replacing that in the exponential function, we get:
f(x) = 175*(1 - 0.2)^x
f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x
