Food costs are expected to rise 6% each month for the next year. which series correctly depicts the cost (to the nearest cent) for the next three months if the current cost is $150 per month? a. $150.00 + $159.00 + $168.00 b.$150.00 + $159.00 + $168.54 c.$159.00 + $168.00 + $177.00 d.$159.00 + $168.54 + $178.65

For this case we have the following equation:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ t
 For the first month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
 y = 159 $
 For the second month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 2
 y = 168.54 $
 For the third month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
 y = 178.65 $
 
 d. $ 159.00 + $ 168.54 + $ 178.65

Hello!

the answer is:

the answer is:

why?

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!

The right answer should be 6 but your not very specific
