Question

After 2014 the sales of new cell phones without cameras began declining. The number of people y (in thousands) who bought a cell phone without a camera can be estimated by the equation y=-30x+240, where x is the number of years after 2014

Answer 1

60,000 people

Explanation:

Given the number of people y (in thousands) who bought a cell phone without a camera can be estimated by the equation y=-30x+240,

x is the number of years after 2014

We can find the number of people that bought the cell phone in 2020. In year 2020, that will be after 6years

Substitute x = 6 into the expression

y=-30x+240

y=-30(6)+240,=

y = -180 + 240

y = 60

Since y is in thousands, hence the the number of people that have bought the cell phone by 2020 is 60,000 people
