Since 2004, the amount of money spent at restaurants in a certain country has increased at a rate of 8% each year. in 2004,about $290 billion was spent at restaurants. If the trend continues, about how much will be spent at restaurants in 2014

not solvable

step-by-step explanation:

we need more information, or at least an

answer is more than one

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

the answer would be 0.54
