Question

It is estimated that approximately one-half of all aluminum cans will be recycled each year. If a soft drink company produces 350,000 cans one year, how many cans are still in use after 4 years of recycling and re-using, using this function? Nt = 350,000(0.52)t

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to the question above is calculated by substituting 4 to variable t of the given function.
Nt = 350,000(0.52)(4)

The substituted function gives an answer of 728,000. Therefore, with the given condition of recycling, about 728, 000 cans can still be used.
