Question

2 4 Number of Hours Number of Samples Left 25 Based on data on the table, which of the following is a TRUE statement? O Initially, supermarket had 85 samples. Initially, supermarket had 105 samples. O Every hour, supermarket distributed 20 samples to its customers. O Every hour, supermarket distributed 5 samples to its customers.

Answer 1

From the given table we can see that as tthe number of hour increases, the number of supermarket samples decreases. This is an inverse proportionality.

Let the time be represented as t;

The number of supermarket samples be s

`\begin{gathered} t\propto(1)/(s) \\ t\text{ = }(k)/(s) \end{gathered}`

k is the constant of variation

We can see that as the time decreses by 2, the factor inmcreases by 20

Hence at t = 0, the samples will be 20 + 85

Hence at t = 0, the samples will be 105

Hence we can that say that initially, supermarket had 105 samples. Option B is correct
