The price of a laptop dropped from 500 to 475. What is the percentage decrease? a.25%

b.15%

c.5%

d.50%

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

exactly you go it

step-by-step explanation:

the option best identifies the textual evidence that supports this conclusion is c.) when an argument is over, how many weighty reasons does a man recollect which his heat and violence made him utterly forget? in order to recognize textual evidence is to identify the topic sentence where the author states the main idea. textual evidence is what supports the topic sentence or main idea of a passage.
