Food production company is choosing between two suppliers of grain. supplier a sells grain for $5.25 per push plus a delivery fee of $3 per bush. supplier b sells the grain for $6.50 per bush plus delivery fee of $1500 each week, which supplier would cost more if the production company by 500 bushels of grain each week ? supplier b would cost $625 more than a supplier b would cost $600 more then a supplier a would cost $875 more then b supplier a would cost $800 more then b

Answer

Supplier B would cost $625 more than A

Explanation

Supplier A : 5.25 × 500 = $2,625

                    3 × 500 = $1500

Total cost = 2,625 + 1,500 = $4,125

Supplier B: 6.50 × 500 = $3,250

 Total cost = 3,250 + 1,500 = $4,750

Supplier B is costly by $4,750 - $4,125 = $625

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.
