Answer:
417
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2+1-3)-212*2+1-4=?
3-212*2+1-4=?
3-423+1-4=?
420+1-4=?
421-4=?
417
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Answer:
2a - b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4a - 2b = 10
take out the highest common factor of the left side
2(2a - b) = 10
divide both sides by two
2a - b = 10/2
2a - b = 5
Answer:
$460
Step-by-step explanation:
If the 128.80 is the price of the desk after a 72% discount, it means that 128.80 is 100-72=28% of the original price.
From here, we can divide 128.80 by 28 to find what 1% of the price is then multiply the value by 100 to find 100%, or the original price.
128.80/28 = 4.6
4.6 x 100 = 460
Original price = $460
Hope this helped!
