The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £144. What was the price before the increase

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

A radioactive substance with initial value of 800g decays according to the exponential model A= 800e^(kt). After 10 years, only 400g of the substance remains. Find the value of k. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. ​NO LINKS!!!!

Answers

Answer:

k ≈ - 0.069

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = 800 [tex]e^{kt}[/tex]

Substitute A = 400 and t = 10 into the equation

400 = 800 [tex]e^{10k}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 800 )

0.5 = [tex]e^{10k}[/tex] ( take the ln of both sides )

ln [tex]e^{10k}[/tex] = ln0.5

10k lne = ln0.5 [ lne = 1 ]

10k = ln 0.5 ( divide both sides by 10 )

k = [tex]\frac{ln0.5}{10}[/tex] ≈ 0.069 ( to the nearest thousandth )

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

400 = 800 * e^(k*t)

What are the units of t? I'm taking it as years.

Divide by 800

400/800 = e^(k*10)

1/2 = e^(k*10)

ln(1/2) = ln(e)^(k*10)

ln(1/2) = k*10 * ln(e)

ln(e) = 1

-0.69314 = k*10

-0.069314 = k

Check

A = 800 e^(-0.069314*10)

A = 800 e^(-0.69314)

A = 800 * 0.50000359

A = 400.0028722

Which is close enough to 400

x = z

x = 58

x + y = 180

58 + y = 180

y = 180 - 58

Hello, I Am BrotherEye

Answer:

Median = 46.5

Minimum = 32

Maximum = 62

Lower quartile = 38

Upper quartile = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can proceed to solving any of these, it is best you arrange your data first from least to greatest

32  34  37  39  41  45  48  53  58  60  61  62

First we have the median. The Median is the middle value. In this case we an even number of data, which is 12 data points. The middle value of the data would be found in between the 6th and 7th data point:

45 and 48

To get the middle value, you need to solve for the value that is in the middle of 45 and 48 by getting the sum of both numbers and dividing it by two.

45 + 48 = 93

93 ÷ 2 = 46.5

The minimum and maximum value is merely the least and greatest number.

Here we have:

Minimum = 32

Maximum = 62

To get the lower and upper quartiles, just remember that quartiles divide the data into 4 equal parts. All you need to do is find the value that is in between each quarters of the data:

           Q1 (Lower)  Q2(Median) Q3(Upper)

32  34  37 |  39  41  45 | 48  53  58 | 60  61  62

Like the median, we will find the value that comes in between each quarter.

Q1

37 + 39 = 76

76 ÷ 2 = 38

Lower quartile = 38

Q3:

58 + 60 = 118

118 ÷ 2 = 59

Upper quartile = 59

Answer:

median - 46.5

Lower quartile - 38

Upper quartile - 59

Maximum - 62

Minimum - 32

If $2940 is invested at 3.2% compounded quarterly, how much is in the account after 8 years?

Answers

Answer:

The future value is $3793.776

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]PV = 2940[/tex] --- present value

[tex]r = 3.2\%[/tex] --- rate

[tex]t = 8[/tex] --- time

[tex]n = 4[/tex] --- quarterly

Required

Determine the future value

This is calculated using:

[tex]FV = PV(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]FV =2940 * (1 + \frac{3.2\%}{4})^{4*8[/tex]

[tex]FV =2940 * (1 + \frac{3.2}{400})^{32[/tex]

[tex]FV =2940 * (1 + 0.008)^{32[/tex]

[tex]FV =2940 * (1.008)^{32[/tex]

[tex]FV =2940 * 1.2904[/tex]

[tex]FV =3793.776[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\bold{y=3x-11}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin with the equation [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]. Let's first find [tex]m[/tex].

For each time [tex]x[/tex] increases by 2 (the rows skip by 2), [tex]y[/tex] increases by 6. Since the relationship is linear, if [tex]x[/tex] were to increase by just 1 (half of 2), [tex]y[/tex] would increase by 3 (since we halve each component). Therefore, [tex]m=3[/tex].

To find [tex]b[/tex] (the y-intercept), we plug in the first value of [tex]x[/tex] we are given and notice the result. In this case, [tex]4 *3=12[/tex]. However, the first value of [tex]y[/tex] is 1, so we must subtract 11 so that the first term is 1. Hence, [tex]y=3x+11[/tex].

Answer:

All the inequalities that model the constraints for this situation:

(d) x + y < 200 ;

(e) 0.75 x + 0.50 y ≥ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

What is inequality ?

A statement of an order relationshipgreater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

As, x represent the number of candy bars sold & y represent the number of bags of chips sold.

It is given that,

price for one candy bar =  $0.75

also, price for one dag of chips = $0.50

So, price for 'x' candy bar =  $0.75x

also, price for 'y' of chips = $0.50 y

Is is mentioned in question, the sale of candy bar and bag of chips shoud be atleast $100.  

the First ineqaulity be,

0.75 x + 0.50 y ≥100

(which should the sales of candy baar and dag of chips be equal to 100 dollar or greater than 100 dollar)

Now, the second situation

Again, it is mentioned in the question is number of units (candy bar and dag of chips)  should be not more than 200 units.

the second inequality be,

x+ y < 200

(which shows that number of candy bar and dag of chips should be less than 200 units.)

All the inequalities that model the constraints for this situation

(d) x + y < 200

(e) 0.75 x + 0.50 y ≥100

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to reduce the fraction 12/30, you want to find the greatest common factor of 12 and 30. We can find that by looking at the prime factorization of each number.

  12 = 2·2·3

  30 = 2·3·5

The greatest common factor is 2·3 = 6. This means ...

  [tex]\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{12}{6\times5}[/tex]

The product of interest is 6 × 5.

Any of the factor pairs of 30 could be used. Only the one shown is useful for reducing the fraction to lowest terms.

This exposition impractically catches the pith of New York City much superior to anything I will ever have the capacity to. As a Californian, I view New York as I envision a New Yorker in the Nineteenth Century would view California. The contemplation is practically outlandish. California is the boundlessness edged pool of a landmass. Its wide open meanders perpetually, forever of the open doors which it holds until the land drops into nothingness and the Pacific devours it.

New York then again, shouldn't exist. Many think of it as the zenith of human accomplishment, a mixture of humankind existing together with an enthusiastic feeling of a club, all living under the standard held high that drains, "New York." It is where ten million drums play to their own beat, yet all ring to a similar congruity.

Didion's involvement in the city echoes these tones. The city is undoubtedly a spot where a half year can transform into eight years, and a night out can transform into a marriage. Didion expressed, "It was an unendingly sentimental idea, the puzzling nexus of all affection and cash and power, the sparkling and short-lived dream itself."

This exposition goes about as Didion's adoration letter to the city, one that isn't composed starting with one captivated sweetheart then onto the next, yet rather as Socrates would keep in touch with Zeus in an incredible miracle of his god-like power. Didion sees New York as legendary Fate, culling and cutting the strings of life which would decide her way of presence. Didion drives home the thought that New York is a thought. It represents something. New York is synonymous with America.

Opportunity. Renewed opportunities. Acts of futility. It is the New Mesopotamia, the support of life held in its bin by the two streams which give it its separated liveliness. American contemporary articles endeavor to restore the sentimental nature which used to drive American writers like Whitman and Thoreau to compose, and she completes a magnificent activity of that. My inquiry is how does Didion's association with the city influence her life?
