the number of gallons of bottled water N consumed by a person in one year is approximated by N=0.733t + 8.398, where t is the number of years since 1971. Predict the number of gallons consumed by a person in 1985.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Solution,

According to question,

N=0.733t + 8.398

When t= 1971, then

N=0.733×(1971) + 8.398

N=1453.141

Answer 2

Explanation:

N = 0.733t + 8.398

N = 0.733(1971) + 8.398

N = 1,453.141
