Question

mr petersen is drinking a coke while she writes this problem. Her friend gave her a 16 oz coke. She drinks the coke at a rate of 6% per second. Which function models the coke left in fluid ounces after x seconds?

Answer 1

To model the amount of coke left in fluid ounces after x seconds, we can use the following function:

C(x) = 16 - 0.06x

In this function:

- C(x) represents the amount of coke left in fluid ounces after x seconds.

- 16 represents the initial amount of coke in fluid ounces (given as a 16 oz coke).

- 0.06x represents the amount of coke consumed at a rate of 6% per second.

The function subtracts the amount consumed (0.06x) from the initial amount (16) to determine the amount of coke that remains after x seconds.
