Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cups needed for a cereal. Of the 15 cups, 5 cups are nuts and the rest is cereal:

33% of the mix is nuts and therefore:

67% of the mix is cereal

To make 60 cup batch the cereal will be:

40 cups of cereal will make a 60 cup batch

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
