0.05*8 = 0.4 inches = 5% of its original height

As a result, the candle's height decreases by 0.4 inches per hour.

The height will be 7.6 in after 1 hour. It will be 7.2 in about 2 hours. It will be 6.8 after 3 hours, and so forth.

We must determine when the height will be 7 inches. This happens when the candle height has shrunk by one inch (from 8 in to 7 in). As we can see from the estimates above, this will happen between 2 and 3 hours. After 1/0.4 = 2.5 hours, the height will have decreased by 1 inch.

Find the integer a such that<br> a.a ≡ 43 (mod 23) and −22 ≤ a ≤ 0.

Margaret [11]

Given that a is an integer from -22 to 0 such that a is equivalent to 43 (mod 23).

Such a can be obtained as follows:

a = 43 (mod 23) - 23 = 20 - 23 = -3.

Therefore, a = -3.

the basketball team sold t shirts and hats as a fundrasier they sold a total of 23 items and made a profit of 246 the made a pro

Gnesinka [82]

s - the number of the t-shirts;

h - the number of hats:

The system of equations:

s + h = 23

10 s + 12 h = 246

--------------------------

s = 23 - h

10 * ( 23 - h ) + 12 h = 246

230 - 10 h + 12 h = 246

2 h = 246 - 230

2 h = 16

h = 16 : 2

h= 8

s = 23 - 8

s = 15

Answer: The basketball team sold 15 t-shirts and 8 hats.

Use the monthly payment formula to find the monthly payment for a $1,000, one year

wlad13 [49]

<h3>Answer: 89,58 $ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula :

$\displaystyle \rm S=A\cdot \left (1+\frac{N}{100} \right )^{\big r}$

where r is years ; N is the percentage by which we increase the price ; A is the original price

In our case :

$\rm r=1 \ \ ; \ \ A=100 \ \ ; \ \ N=7,5\% \\\\ S=1000\cdot \bigg( 1+\dfrac{7,5}{100} \bigg)^1=1000\cdot 1,075=\boxed{1075\$}$

Then the monthly salary is equal to:

$\dfrac{1075}{12} \approx 89,58 \$$
