Answer:
The y-intercept should be 346,904. This is the population for the first (first/last( known year of data. The year 2000 acts as 0 on the graph of the exponential function.
Step-by-step explanation:
I just did it on my homework and it said that my answer is right
Cost of fuel = 30% of $400 000 = 30/100 x 400000 = $120 000
Fuel amount = $120 000/$1.5 = 80 000 liters
new cost of fuel = 80000 x $1.6 = $144 000
increase in cost = 144000 - 120000 = $24000
So the increase in petrol price increases the operating cost by $24000
