So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

So,

For city B:

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,

15) Basically, this year Chelsea is making 64 cups of soup, and since there are 16 cups in a gallon, Chelsea will make 4 gallons.
16) Option D
Answer: the maximum number of drinks Liam can buy is 4 without over exceeding his price limit.

$17.50 + $8 = $25.50 out of $30 price limit
Answer:
A =28.26
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the area formula
A = pi r^2
We use pi = 3.14 and the radius is 3
A = 3.14 * (3)^2
A = 3.14 *9
A =28.26
