We did not find results for: Carley and Maxwell are working on their laptops. Carley’s laptop begins with 50% battery and loses a charge at 1.5% per minute. The percent y, in decimal form, of battery power remaining after x minutes for Maxwell’s laptop can be represented by y = -0.02x + 0.75. Which statement is true? Responses A Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had less battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had less battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. B Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. C Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had less battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had less battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop. D Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.

The correct statement is:

C) Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had less battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.

are you sure

Apologies for the confusion. The correct statement is:

B) Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.

are you sure

Yes, I am sure. According to the given information, Carley's laptop loses charge at a rate of 1.5% per minute, while Maxwell's laptop is represented by the equation y = -0.02x + 0.75, which means Maxwell's laptop loses charge at a rate of 0.02% per minute. Since 1.5% is greater than 0.02%, Carley's laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell's laptop. Additionally, it is stated that Carley's laptop begins with 50% battery, which is more than the 0.75% battery that Maxwell's laptop starts with. Therefore, the correct statement is B) Carley’s laptop loses charge at a slower rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.

you were wrong

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reassess the given information and determine the correct statement.

According to the given information, Carley’s laptop starts with a 50% battery and loses a charge at a rate of 1.5% per minute. Maxwell’s laptop is represented by the equation y = -0.02x + 0.75, which means it loses charge at a rate of 0.02% per minute.

Comparing the two rates, Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate (1.5%) than Maxwell’s laptop (0.02%). Therefore, option D is correct: Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop.

In terms of initial battery power, Carley's laptop starts with 50% battery, while Maxwell's starts with 0.75% battery. Hence, Carley’s laptop had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.

Therefore, the correct statement is D) Carley’s laptop loses charge at a faster rate than Maxwell’s laptop and had more battery to begin with than Maxwell’s laptop.
