Answer:
$9.71 or $203.96
Step-by-step explanation:
5% of $194.25 is $9.71
if you wanted the overall cost that would be $203.96.
If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!
For the first digit you are choosing from 2 digits
for the second digit you are choosing from 2 digits
for the third digit you are choosing from 2 digits
2*2*2=8
111
110
011
101
000
001
100
010
However......
A number doesn't usually start with a 0 or 0s.
Therefore, if you want 3-digit numbers and not just permutations using 0 and 1, then you must eliminate
011, 000, 001, and 010
Seeing that the first digit can't be 0, you choose from 1, then 2, and then 2 digits again; 1*2*2=4 numbers
You choose which answer best suits your problem.

QRINC offered new employees a starting salary of $34,862 in 2013. What would a comparable starting salary have been in 2003?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
CPI for 2003(index)=2003-184.00
CPI for 2013(index)=2013-232.957
Starting salary in 2013 at $34,862
Generally comparable starting salary C is given as


Therefore C the comparable starting salary is givrn to be


Compound interest
P(1+rate/100)^years
However, this questions would be easier using simple interest with calculations here.
First year — $35000x102% = $35700
Second year — $35700x102% = $36414
Third year — $36414x102% = $37142.28
