Answer:

Pretty sure A is the answer

Explanation:

because it is being multiplied by .85 it is also a percentage of 85% so that means it is decreasing by that each hour.

When pouring in your bubble bath, add it slowly and right underneath the running water. The stronger the water pressure, the more bubbles you'll get. To increase the suds, rapidly run your fingers through the liquid underneath the tap and if need be, add more bubble bath before turning off the tap so c has to be the answer!
