Question

rhianna entered the amount she charged on her credit card each month into a spreadsheet. according to the table, when was the rate of decrease greater? between april and july between june and august

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rate of decrease between April and July

The formula for rate of decrease is \(\text{Rate of Decrease}=\frac{\text{Initial Value}-\text{Final Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\).
For April (\(A = 242\)) and July (\(J=149\)):
\(\text{Rate of Decrease}=\frac{242 - 149}{242}=\frac{93}{242}\approx0.384\)

Step2: Calculate rate of decrease between June and August

For June (\(U = 292\)) and August (\(G = 238\)):
\(\text{Rate of Decrease}=\frac{292-238}{292}=\frac{54}{292}\approx0.185\)

Answer:

between April and July
