Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

What is 2/5% of 820?<br><br> 1.8<br><br> 2.05<br><br> 2.88<br><br> 3.28
Margarita [4]

Answer:

D) 3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

820/x=100/2.5

(820/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

820=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x

820/40=x

20.5=x

x=20.5

now we have:

2.5% of 820=20.5

Identify the initial amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function.
alina1380 [7]

Given the equation A (x) = 30 x 8.3 ^x, we can get the initial amount of A when x is equal to zero. Therefore:

A (0) = 30 * 8.3^0

A (0) = 30

In this case the equation grows by 8.3 times as x increases. Therefore the growth factor is 8.3.

Answers:

initial amount = 30

growth factor = 8.3

The answers are not in the given choices. I believe you are giving the wrong equation. If the correct equation here is:

A (x) = 680 x 4.3 ^x 

Then the answers are:

initial amount = 680

growth factor = 4.3

The answers are now in the choices given.
