The CEO of a cell-phone company has recently noticed a 26% sales decrease in the month of July compared to June. Let n represent June’s sales. If y represents July’s sales, which equation can be used to determine the sales in July?

Answer:

y = n - 0.26n

y = 0.74n

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that can be used to express the function above is given an Exponential Decrease function

Where:

y = a(1 - r)^t

Where

y = July sales

a = n = June sales

r = rate of decrease = 26% = 0.26

t = time in months = June to July = 1 month

t = 1

Hence, our equation =

y = n( 1 - 0.26)¹

y = n(1 - 0.26)

y = n - 0.26n

y = 0.74n

The equation that can be used to determine the sales in July is given as:

y = n - 0.26n

y = 0.74n
