The point is to find the growth rate. The compound formula is:

P=A(1+ growth rate)ⁿ, where A is the initial Value & P the new value after n years:
P₂₀₀₃ =P₂₀₀₂ (1+ growth rate)¹ (the period "n" from 2002 to 2003 being 1 year)

38400 = 32000(1+growth rate)¹
38400 / 32000 - 1= growth rate & growth rate = 1/5 = 0.2
You will balso find the same growth rate for:
P₂₀₀₄ = P₂₀₀₃(1+ growth rate)¹
P₂₀₀₅ = P₂₀₀₄((1+ growth rate)¹
between 2015 & 2002 THERE ARE 14 YEARS:

P₂₀₁₅ = P₂₀₀₂(1+0.2)¹⁴ & P₂₀₁₅ = 32000(1+02)¹⁴ = 410,854

A candle maker adds lemon oil to wax to make the lemon-scented candle shown. How many ounces of oil will he need for the candle
liraira [26]

Answer:

The ounces of oil needed is 5 ounces of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the volume of the lemon-scented candle given.

Looking at shape the volume can be calculated using the formula L * B * H

where L(length) = 10cm , B(breadth) = 8cm and Height(h) = 25cm

The volume V is thus = 10 * 8 * 25 = 2,000 cm^3

The ounces of oil needed for the candle to have 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax will be = The volume of the lemon-scented candle * 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax

That will be = 0.0025 * 2,000 = 5 ounces

A biker rode 45 miles in 180 minutes. At what speed (in miles per hour) was the biker travelling? A. 4 B. 17 C. 9 D. 12
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

v = 15 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance covered by biker = s=45 miles

time taken by him = t=180 minutes

TO Find:

speed in miles per hour = v = ?

Solution:

As it is given that the distance covered is 45 miles

and time taken by him is 180 minutes

as one hour have 60 minutes

so time taken by rider = t = 180 /60

                                          = 3 hours

this step is done because we have to find speed in miles per hour

Now

The formula for finding the distance is

distance = speed * time

or

s = v * t

we have to find v

so dividing both sides by t

\frac{s}{t} = \frac{v*t}{t}

it becomes

v = \frac{s}{t}

Putting the values

v = \frac{45}{3}

solving it gives

v = 15 miles / hour

which is the required speed

in the given options it is not available

a triangle has a perimeter of 10x+2 . two sides have lengths of 5x and 2x+9 what is the length of the 3rd side
stiks02 [169]
Since all the sides add up to 10x+2, that means that 10x-2-<side1>-<side2>=<side3>. Plugging it in, we have 10x-2-5x-(2x+9)=side3, and 5x-2-(2x+9)=side3, then expanding it to 5x-2-2x-9=3x-11=side3
