Cost is expressed by the formula tb^4. If b is doubled, the new cost E is what percent of the original cost?
Choose the correct option.
A) E=200 B) E=600 C) E=800 D) E=1600 E) 50
Original Cost E, C1=t1*b1^4   New Cost C2= t2*b2^4....only b is doubled so t2=t1 and b2=2b1   C2=t2*(2b1)^4   =16(t1*b1^4)   =16C1   16 times C1=&gt;1600% of C1   Ans E=1600=1600
