A company performed power tests on a set of batteries of the same type. The company 10 determined that the equation y = 100 - 8.9x, where x is the number of hours of use and y is the percent of battery power remaining, models the battery life. Based on the equation, what is the best prediction of the percent of remaining power for a battery after 11 hours of use?

For this case we have the following equation:
y = 100 - 8.9x
Where,
x = the number of hours of use
For 11 hours of use we have x = 11.
Substituting:
y = 100 - 8.9 * (11)
y = 2.1%
Answer:
the best prediction of the percent of remaining power for a battery after 11 hours of use is:
y = 2.1%
