A store had 250 bottles of water. Each week, 40% of the bottles were sold and 48 new bottles arrived in shipments. Which recursive function best represents the number of bottles of water in the store? (1 point) Select one: a. f(n ) = f(n - 1) • 0.4 + 48, n > 0 b. f(n ) = 250 - f(n - 1) • 0.4 + 48, n > 0 c. f(n ) = f(n - 1) • 0.6 + 48, n > 0 d. f(n ) = 250 - f(n - 1) • 0.6 + 48, n > 0

then it was d

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Oh yeah not thinking right! you had 250 take out 40 percent you are left with 60 of that. add 48 new bottles

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

f(n-1) is the previous number of bottles taking 40% out and f(n) new one with 48 add and so on
