The number of oranges harvested from Jake's yard decreased by 5% from last year to this year. Jake used the following expression to find the number of oranges harvested this year, P, where C is the number oranges Jake harvested last year.

C - 0.05C = P

Select the correct interpretation for the given equation.

A. P is 95% of the amount harvested by Jake last year.

B. Is 5% of the amount harvested by Jake last year.

C. P is 5% of the amount harvested by Jake this year.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

P  = C - (5/100)C = (95/100)C = 95% of C

Hope this helps!

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
