Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies
Answer:
<em>6497</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
127% is the same as 1.27
Let the number be x.
127% of a number x is the same as 1.27x.
1.27x = 8251
x = 6497
The number is 6497.
Answer:
$51.
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest I = PRT/100 where P = amount of the loan , R = rate and T = the times in years.
I = 340 * 15 * 1 / 100
= 5100/100
= $51.
