Cost is expressed by the formula tb^4. If b is doubled, the new cost is what percent of the original cost?
(A) 200
(B) 600
(C) 800
(D) 1600
(E) 50
I read the explanation in Manhattan but cant relate to it.
I worked it out this way
Assume,
t=1
b=2
Original = (1*2)^4= 16
New= (1*2*2)^4 = 256
% change= (change/Original)*100
=(240/16)*100
=1500
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
