Monique is reading a book. The table shows how the number of pages remaining in the book is changing over time.
READING A BOOK
Time (hours) Number of Pages Remaining
0 360
1 320
2 280
3 240
4 200
Which equation describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book?
A. n=-40t -360
B. N=-40t 360
C. N=40t + 360
D. N=40t -360
To find the equation that describes the relationship between time (t) and the number of pages remaining (N), we need to find the pattern in the data.
From the table, we can see that the number of pages remaining decreases by 40 every hour.
Since the initial number of pages remaining is 360, we can write the equation as:
N = -40t + 360
Therefore, the correct equation is:
D. N = 40t - 360
