6 years

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

x = 6 years to the nearest year

The football club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $6.00
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Candy=x=2.8 bags

Cookies=3+2.8=5.8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Price

Bag of candy=$6.00

Bag of cookies=$4

Total sales=$40

Quantity

Let cookies=y=3+x

Let candy=x

There are 3 more bag of cookies than candy sold

Total sales=price*quantity of x + price*quantity of y

40=$4*(3+x) + 6*x

40=12+4x+6x

40=12+10x

40-12=10x

28=10x

X=28/10

x=2.8 bags
