Janet’s car insurance payment decreases by $20 each year. Which expressions represent the total change in her payment, in dollars, after 5 years A. 20-20-20-20-20 B. 100 c. 5•(-20) d. -20•(-5) E. -100 pls answer my

Option C is the correct answer.

C.  5•(-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the insurance payment for the car follows a certain pattern that can be represented through an expression. The payment is decreasing by $20 every year. As we don't know the total payment amount per period, so we cannot calculate how much is paid per period/year for insurance but we can calculate the rate at which this payment is decreasing.

Change in payment = t * (-20)

The above expressions can be used to calculate the amount of change in payment i payment is decreasing by a constant $20 every year, after t years.

So, if we want to calculate the change in payment after say 5 years, we can replace t with 5 in the equation and calculate the change,

Change in payment = 5 * (-20)

Change in payment = - $100

there are no short passages to look at

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
