Write the equation for the following scenario:
Martha started to experiment with a new drug for laundry detergent to help better eliminate the presence of bacteria in kitchen sink dish
towels. In her initial trials, she is finding that her drug is eliminating 1/5 of the bacteria after each wash. If a dish towel started with 4000
units of bacteria, what equation will best model the amount of bacteria remaining after x washes?
y = (4/5)(400)
3
y = (400) (4/5)
4
y = (1/5)(400)
5
y = 400(1/5)
