Employees at Maria's company get a 5% cost-of-living adjustment added to their salary each year. If Maria currently has a salary of $80,900?
Which equation BEST models this situation to solve for salary (y) in x years? *

HINT : This is a Exponential Growth and Decay problem

A O y = 80900(1.05)*
B O y = 80900(1.5)*
C O y = 0.5(80900)*
D O y = 80900(x)

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to times 80,900 by the number of years (the exponent) then times that number by 0.5 (5%). Also, the equation for this is y=a(b)* 0.5 is your a, 80900 is your b and your exponent is x

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
