The number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days would be: 245.41 microoganisms.

<h3>How to calculate the number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days?</h3>

To calculate the number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days, I must perform the following operations:

We need to find 37% of 55 as shown below:

  • 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  • 0.55 x 37% = 20.35
  • 55 + 20.35 = 75.35

So after 2 days I will have 75.35 microorganisms.

  • 75.35 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  • 0.7535 x 37% = 27.87
  • 75.35 + 27.87 = 103.22

On the fourth day I will have: 103.22 microorganisms.

  • 103.22 ÷ 100 = 1.0322
  • 1.0322 x 37% = 38.19
  • 103.22 + 38.19 = 141.41

On the sixth day I will have 141.41 microorganisms.

  • 141.41 ÷ 100 = 1.4141
  • 1.4141 x 37% = 52.32
  • 141.41 + 52.32 = 193,73

On the eighth day I will have 193.73 microorganisms.

  • 193.73 ÷ 100 = 1.9373
  • 1.9373 x 37% = 71.68
  • 193.73 + 71.68 = 265.41

On the tenth day I will have 245.41 microoganisms.

Walking path across the park is represented by the equation Y equals negative 2X -7. A new path will be built perpendicular to t
Genrish500 [490]

here the equation of path is -2x-7=y

let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b

so slope m=-2

now new path is perpendicular to this path.

product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1

so slope of new path is 1/2

now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2

using y=mx+b to get value of b

-3=1/2(-2) +b

b=-2

plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as

y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path

If Rib-eye steaks are on sale for $8.52 per pound. Ms. Markum bought a 0.9-pound steak. How much did the steak cost?
Pepsi [2]

Answer: The steak costs $ 7.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost per pound of Rib-eye steaks = $8.52

Ms. Markum bought a 0.9-pound steak.

To find :  cost of 0.9 pound steak =

Then cost of 0.9 pound steak = 0.9 x (Cost per pound of Rib-eye steaks )

= $ (0.9  x 8.52)

= $7.668 ≈  $ 7.67

Hence, the steak costs $ 7.67.
