36 students ride a school bus home. the same number of students get off at each stop. harriet knows how many students got off at one stop. how could she find how many stops the bus made?

Givens:

If Harriet has that information, she only need to divided the total amount of students by the number of students that got off at one stop. She can do this and find the answer because the number of students that get off is always the same in each stop.

For example, let's say that Harriet knows that at specific stop, 6 students got off. Then she divided 36/6=6, meaning that she made 6 stops in total. That's how she could find the total number of stops.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
