Answer:

21 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ <u><em>Given:</em></u>

<em>There are 126 animals at the shelter. </em>

<em>Of the animals, 1/3 are cats. </em>

<em>Three fourths of the remaining animals are dogs.</em>

<u><em>To Find:</em></u>

<em>How many of the animals are rabbits? Show your work.</em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

<em>Since 1/3 are cats and the total is 126.</em>

<em>Then, 1/3 of 126 is 42. {1/3 × 126 = 42}</em>

<em>Therefore, there are 42 cats. </em>

<em>3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. </em>

<em>Which 3/4 of 84 is 63. { 3/4 × 84 = 63 }</em>

<em> So there are 63 dogs. </em>

<em>Now adding dogs and cats together:</em>

<em>63 + 42 = 105 animals.</em>

<em>126 {Total} - 105{cat and cats} = 21 {rabbits}</em>

<em>Hence, there are 21 rabbits.</em>

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!! Jordan got a new money bank for his birthday with $20 inside. He puts part of his weekly allowance in his ba

kupik [55]

Answer:

Slope of the function is $=3.75$ ,Y-intercept $=20$ .

The function is $y=3.75(x)+20$ with initial value $=20$ ,Jordan puts $\$3.75$ each week andthe amount saved by Jordan after $52$ week $=215\$$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand the slope and y-intercept lets assign $x$ as number of weeks and $y$ as the money saved by Jordan.

Jordan is already having a sum of $\$20$ inside the money bank so in $0$ week the amount is $\$20$ can be written as $(x,y) =(0,20)$ in coordinate form.

SImilarly

We have $(x,y) =(0,20)$ and $(x_1,y_1) =(25,113.75)$

Part A:

The function is $y=m(x)+b$

From point-slope form,we have slope (m)

and $m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x}$ ,plugging the values of the points.

$m=\frac{113.75-20}{25-0}=3.75$

Y-intercept of this function is the constant term or the money of $\$20$ that is already inside the money bank.

We can also calculate y-intercept by arranging the function as $b=y-m(x)$ choosing any $(x_1,y_1) = (25,113.75)$ coordinate and here $b$ is the y-intercept.

The result will be same.

Part B:

The equation <u> $y=3.75(x)$ </u> can represent the function described.

And the initial value is the <u>y-intercept $=\$20$ </u>

Jordan puts<u> $3.75$ </u>in his bank each week.

After $52$ week the amount saved by Jordan ,here $x=52$ ,as the x-variable is the number of weeks.

Plugging the value of $x=52$ in $y=m(x)+b$ where $m=3.75$ so the equation becomes $y=3.75(x)+20$

$y=3.75(x)+20 =3.75(52)+20=\$215$

So basically the function is $y=3.75(x)+20$ and the amount saved by Jordan after $52$ week $=215\$$ .

Your bank account is sitting on $14,000. You started with a principal balance of $12,500. If the interest rate was 4.5% compound

Simora [160]

Answer:

$t=2.5\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

$A=P(e)^{rt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

$t=?\ years\\ P=\$12,500\\P=\$14,000\\ r=4.5\%=4.5/100=0.045$

substitute in the formula above and solve for t

$14,000=12,500(e)^{0.045t}$

Simplify

$14,000/12,500=(e)^{0.045t}$

$1.12=(e)^{0.045t}$

Apply ln both sides

$ln(1.12)=ln[(e)^{0.045t}]$

$ln(1.12)=(0.045t)ln(e)$

Remember that

$ln(e)=1$

so

$ln(1.12)=(0.045t)$

$t=ln(1.12)/(0.045)$

$t=2.5\ years$
