This trip the family will spend $117.96. The next trip they will spend $119.27. This is an increase of ($117.96 − $119.27) or an increase of $1.31. What is the percent of increase? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.

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.

47 - 90 = 43

43 - 180 = x

x = 137

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
