The number of e. coli bacteria cells in a pond of stagnant water can be represented by the function below, where a represents the number of e. coli bacteria cells per 100 ml of water and t represents the time, in years, that has elapsed.

a(t)=136(1.123)^4t

based on the model, by approximately what percent does the number of e. coli bacteria cells increase each year?

a.
60%
b.
59%
c.
41%
d.
40%

Based on the model, percentage of increasing of bacteria in the pond per year is given by, 59% .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

A(t) = ---------------------(1)

where, A(t) = number of E-coli bacteria cells in the pond per 100 mL of water  at time t year.

So,

A(t+1) =

          --------------------(2)

So, based on the model, percentage of increasing of bacteria in the pond per year is given by,

%

% [from  (1) and (2)]

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04

step-by-step explanation:

whole number data type

step-by-step explanation:

as whole number type represents whole number

like 1, 2 ,3, 4

in other words the whole numbers are those numbers which cannot be written infraction.

since we can take days as a whole number i.e 1 day 2 day and we cannot write 1.2 day hence we will use whole number data type
