Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopy :p
The answer would be D I and II only
My work:
The only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D<span>, but if you have time and want to be absolutely thorough, you can also check to see if statement III is true </span>
Answer:
117.5 or 235/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up an equation for this problem:
Lets Joe's weight be x
then:
2x -5 = 230
therefore:
2x = 235
x = 117.5 or 235/2
This is an equation of exponential decay
y(t) = a b^ t where a is the initial amount
b is the decay factor
t is the time in years
b is found by taking 1 and subtracting the percent it decreases in decimal form
Letting t =4
y(t) = 260 million * ( 1- .011) ^ 4
=248.7473796 million
=24874737.96
Rounding to a whole number
= 24874738
