Percy paid $24.10 for a basketball. the price of the basketball was $22.99. what was the sales tax rate?

24.10-22.99 = $1.11 in tax

1.11/22.99= 0.04828 = 4.8% tax rate

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !
