Answer:

Monica is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, if 4 bottles only cost $4, then how would only 2 cost more? (She said the two bottles would be $25, which doesn’t make sense.)

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

$f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C$

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

$1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266$

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

$100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05$
