The answer posted "42.55" is incorrect.

The postage per ounce would be of $2.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential model:

The postage, in t years after 1963, follows the following format:

In which P(0) is the initial value and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In 1963, postage was 5 cents per ounce.

This means that

So

In 1981, postage was 18 cents per ounce.

This means that . We use this to find r. So

So

If the trend had continued through to 2015, what would the postage per ounce be?

2015 - 1963 = 52, so this is P(52).

202 cents, so $2.02.

step-by-step explanation:

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
