We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

1. The amount of money Travis earns is given in the table.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  $250

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the table indicate a proportional relationship between earnings and hours worked. Among other things, that means you can find the earnings for 20 hours by using any table values that sum to 20 hours.

For example, 9 hours + 11 hours = 20 hours, so the earnings would be ...

  $112.50 +137.50 = $250.00 . . . for 20 hours

You could also use 4×5 hours = 20 hours, so ...

  4×$62.50 = $250 . . . for 20 hours

__

Or, you can figure ...

  $37.50/(3 h) = $12.50/h

so the pay for 20 hours is ...

  (20 h)×($12.50/h) = $250.00

The cost of making a shirt is half of what the shirt normally sells for. Today, the shirt is in a 15 percent discount from its n
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

.85 times the cost to make the shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost to make the shirt.

Today, the shirt is in a 15 percent discount from its normal price.

Discount = 15/100 * x = 0.15x

Current cost = Original cost - discount

Current cost = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

The answer is;

.85 times the cost to make the shirt
