When Lucy left her house in the morning, her cell phone battery was partially charged. Lucy's phone lost battery life at a rate of 8% each hour and 3 hours after leaving her house, the battery had 16% remaining battery life. Write an equation for B , B, in terms of t , t, representing the charge remaining in Lucy's battery, as a percentage, t t hours after Lucy left her house.

B = 40 - 8t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate at which battery life discharges = 8% per hour ;

Battery life left after 3 hours = 16%

t = hours after Lucy left hiuse

Equation B will be ;

Amount of charge before leaving home - (Discharge rate * number hours)

Amount of charge before leaving home :

Charge left after 3 hours + discharge rate * 3

16% + 8*3

16% + 24% = 40%

Hence,

B = 40 - 8t

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
