Solve the problem.In 1985, in the town of Appleby, 21.2% of Hispanics were overweight, increasing by an average of 0.48% per year. In 1985, in the town of Appleby, 0.16% of whites were overweight, increasing by an average of 32.6% per year. Write a function that models the percentage, y, of Hispanics who are overweight x years after 1985. Write a function that models the percentage, y, of whites who are overweight x years after 1985.

A. Hispanics: y = 0.48x + 21.2
Whites: y = 32.6x + 0.16
B. Hispanics: y + 0.48x = 21.2
Whites: y + 32.6x = 0.16
C. Hispanics: y = 21.2x + 0.48
Whites: y = 0.16x + 32.6
D. Hispanics: y = 21.68x 
Whites: y = 32.76x
