  37/45 ≈ 0.822

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an exponential relation is ...

  y = a·b^x

This question is asking for the value of b. It can be found by substituting the given values of x and y, and taking the ratio of the resulting equations.

  90 = a·b^15

  74 = a·b^16

Dividing the second equation by the first, we have ...

  74/90 = (a·b^16)/(a·b^15)

  74/90 = b

The decay factor is 74/90 = 37/45 ≈ 0.822

37/45=0.822 this is my answer

answer: 457.14

step-by-step explanation:

205 - 45 = 160

160 / .35 = 457.142857
