Sandy collected 10 pounds of apples at an apple orchard. She is determined to eat 20% of the apples remaining every day after the day she went to the orchard. Write an exponential function to model this scenario and use it to estimate how many pounds of apples she has left after 1 week.



Answer :

The pounds of apple left after 1 week is 2.1 pounds.

How many pounds of apple would be left?

The pounds of apple would decline each day that Sandy eats it.

An exponential function is a function that is used in mathematics with the form: f ( x ) = [tex]a^{x}[/tex]

Where:

  • x is a variable
  • a is a constant

The pounds of apple left = initial pounds of apple x (1 - rate at which she eats it)^number of days

10 x (1 - 0.2)^number of days

10 x 0.8^7 = 2.1 pounds
