Answer:
48,558
Step-by-step explanation:
The function which models the relationship between the elapsed time, t in years, since 2010 and the town's population, P(t), is given as:
![P(t)=36800\cdot2^{^\dfrac{t}{25}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28t%29%3D36800%5Ccdot2%5E%7B%5E%5Cdfrac%7Bt%7D%7B25%7D%7D)
Now, 2020-2010=10 Years
Therefore we are required to calculate the population of the town 10 years after.
To do this, we simply substitute t=10 in the function.
![P(10)=36800\cdot2^{^\dfrac{10}{25}}}\\=48557.9\\\approx 48558](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%2810%29%3D36800%5Ccdot2%5E%7B%5E%5Cdfrac%7B10%7D%7B25%7D%7D%7D%5C%5C%3D48557.9%5C%5C%5Capprox%2048558)
According to the model, the population in Fall River will be 48,558 in the Year 2020.
For the experiment, you need 2L of cola. Your first option would be to purchase 1 2L bottle of cola for $2.25.
To calculate the second option, let's convert milliliters to liters first. There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. With this, we know that there are 2,000 milliliters in 2 liters. Option 2 comes in 500-milliliter cans, which means that you would need 4 of them (2,000/500 = 4). 4 cans multiplied by $0.50 would cost you $2.00.
Let's check the cost of your answer options.
A. 4 cans - As seen above, this would cost $2.00.
B. 1 bottle - From the question, we know this would cost $2.25.
C. 2 bottles - This would be more soda than you need and would cost $4.50 ($2.25x2)
D. 1 can - This would be .5L and not enough soda for the experiment.
E. 5 cans - This would cost $2.50, but would be an extra 500mL of soda.
F. 2 cans - This would only be 1L of soda and not enough for the experiment.
G. 3 cans - This would be 1.5L of soda and not enough for the experiment either.
For the best price option, you would choose A (four cans of soda). This would give you the amount of soda that you need at the lowest price.
