Josiah currently has $2000 in his savings accounts. If the account earns 1.5% interest each year, which equation could he use to determine the total amount of money, yy , he will have after xx months?

y=2000(1.5)xy=2000\left(1.5\right)^x

y=2000(1.015)xy=2000\left(1.015\right)^x

y=2000(1.15)xy=2000\left(1.15\right)^x

y=2000(99.985)xy=2000\left(99.985\right)^x

Muhammad went to the Hamburger Shack twice last week. On the first trip he bought 3 hamburgers and 4 orders of french fries for $7.10. On the second trip he bought only 2 hamburgers and an order of french fries for $3.40. Which system of equations best represents this situation if hh represents the cost of each hamburger and ff the cost of each order of french fries.

3h+4f=7.103h+4f=7.10 2h+f=3.402h+f=3.40

h+f=10h+f=10 5h+5f=10.505h+5f=10.50

3h+4f=3.403h+4f=3.40 2h+f=7.102h+f=7.10

3h+f=7.103h+f=7.10 2h+4f=3.402h+4f=3.40

After a rainstorm, there are 2 m of water covering a road. The water decreases at a rate of 0.25m/h. Express the amount of water, ww , as a linear function of time, tt , in hours after the end of the rainstorm.

w(t)=0.25t+2w\left(t\right)=0.25t+2

w(t)=−0.25t+2w\left(t\right)=-0.25t+2

w(t)=0.25t−2w\left(t\right)=0.25t-2

w(t)=−0.25t−2w\left(t\right)=-0.25t-2
