Where are the answer choices?
I'm pretty sure the answer will be 6/10
Hope this helps, best of luck, terribly sorry if I'm wrong if I am my apologies

Answer:
Joint variation says that:
if
and 
then the equation is in the form of:
, where, k is the constant of variation.
As per the statement:
If x varies jointly as y and z
then by definition we have;
......[1]
Solve for k;
when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9
then
Substitute these in [1] we have;

⇒
Divide both sides by 36 we have;

Simplify:

⇒
to find z when x = 16 and y = 6
Substitute these value we have;

⇒
Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

Divide both sides by 12 we have;
12 = z
or
z = 12
Therefore, the value of z is, 12
The starting value is 20,300, and the value is decreasing by 9.5% each year.
Because it decreases by 9.5% each year based on the previous amount, we use an exponential decay model.
A decrease by 9.5% corresponds to multiplying by 91.5% each year.
We write . We plug in 11 years for t.
