Answer:
$36.97
The cost of the meal was $32.57 and he used a 10% off coupon. You can make 10% equal to 0.1 because . Now do . This is the discount, so you want to subtract this from the original to get the actual price of the meal, .
The tax was 8% so this means he is adding
Part A
Chorus:
Expontential growth = b*a^x
b = 15
a = 1.12 (a= r+1), r = 12%
Which gives a function of f(x) = 15*1.12^x
Band
Linear growth = ax+b
a = 2
b = 30
Which gives a function of g(x)=2x+30
Part B:
f(9) = 15*1.12^9 = 41.59
g(9) = 2*9+30 = 48
Part C:
This is probably problem solving, where you're allowed to use calculators and other softwares.
Therefore you can use different softwares, and make f(x) = g(x).
I did this, and got it to 10.95427141
1.04^20=2.2
75000*2.2=$164334 as the value of the house in 20 years
