Post your question maybe we can help.

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

Jack is playing a game. When a player wins 3 consecutive games, the player receives 10 bonus points and then the player’s total score, s, increases by 5% of the player’s current points. Jack currently has p points and has won 3 consecutive games.

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

The function that represents a player’s points including the bonus points, b, is b(p) = .________ @k142

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you think?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

s(p) = p*1.05 is the increase in s for the 5%. b(p) = s(p) + b where b is 10 is his new score after winning the 3 games

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

i thouht it was p-10

OpenStudy (boldjon):

check to see if it's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanted to say the same @boldjon

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

okay how do i check it exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it works for p>=3

OpenStudy (boldjon):

then that's yo answer ^_^

Receives 10 bonus points `and then` +5% I think you guys are doing this backwards. The bonus should be 1.05(p+10), ya? Adding 10 first, then increase by 5 percent.

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

thank you! theres two more parts do you guys mind helping with them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it seems right @zepdrix

OpenStudy (boldjon):

sure

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Or is the 10 bonus not included in the current points? I'm not sure :( Wording is confusing...

OpenStudy (boldjon):

what's the next question

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

wait so is it p-10 or p+10?

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

the next one is The function that gives the net points after the percentage increase in a player’s total points is s(p) = @boldjon

OpenStudy (alleeyyssaa):

and i think this one is 1.05p? @zepdrix @boldjon @k142
