Between 2005 and 2010 the average rate of inflation was about 3.3 percent per year if a cart of groceries cost 150 dollars in 2005 what did it cost in 2010

The products did cost $173.9 in 2010

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function

Two variables y and x are related as an exponential function if they comply:

where C is the initial value of F, r is the ratio, and k is a proportional constant.

The situation described in the question is modeled as

Where F is the final value of the cart of groceries in 2010, C = $150 is its value in 2005, r is the yearly rate of increase. n is the number of years

. So

If we set n=5 (from 2005 to 2010):

The products did cost $173.9 in 2010

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
