A store had 250 bottles of water. Each week, 40% of the bottles were sold and 48 new bottles arrived in shipments. Which recursive function best represents the number of bottles of water in the store, given that f(0) = 250?

Your answer to tis question would be D.
why well you have to take 250 and 40 percent you are left with 60 of that
whih you would add 48 bottles.

f(n-10 is the previous number of botles taking 40% out and f(n) new one within 48 and you add on.

Answer: The recursive function would be
f(n)=f(n-1)0.6+48,n>0

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bottles of water = 250

Percentage of bottles were sold = 40%

Percentage of remaining bottle = 100-40 = 60%

Number of new bottles arrived in shipment = 48

As we have f(0) = 250

So, Recursive function would be


f(n)=f(n-1)* (60)/(100)+48\\\\f(n)=f(n-1)0.6+48,n>0

Hence, the recursive function would be


f(n)=f(n-1)0.6+48,n>0
