For this problem, it could be mistaken to be decay rate which is exponential. But this is actually logical to simple interest in economics.The difference would be, the principal amount and future amount are interchanged because it is decreasing. Using the formula for simple interest,

Year 1950 = Year 2010 (1 + rate*time)
The time would be 2010-1950 = 60 years

114.6 = x(1 + 0.066*60)
x = 23.1 million tons

Answer:

Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1950 the use of coal in the us was 114.6 million tons

The use of coal has decreased by 6.6% per year since then

The time would be 2010 - 1950 = 60 years  

Let the estimate amount used in the year 2010

⇒ 114.6 = x(1 + 0.066 × 60)

⇒ 114.6 = x × 4.96

⇒ x = 23.1

Therefore, Amount of estimated coal that has been used in the year 2010 = 23.1 million tons

Im struggling to answer this question.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

35/100

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 12% of horses (10÷84=0.1190 and 0.1190 = 12%)

You have 54% of sheep (54÷84=0.535 and 0.535=54%)

Subtract the amount of Sheep and Horses for the total amount of animals

84-(10+54)

You have 35% of cows (29÷84=0.345 and 0.345=35%)

35% to a fraction is 35/100 (simplified version 7/20)

I hope this helps (:

Angles 1 and 2 are complementary and congruent. what is the measure of angle 1? 30° 45° 50° 75°
lesantik [10]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

1) If angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary angles

then

m∠1+m∠2=90\° ------> equation A

2) If angle 1 and angle 2 are congruent angles

then

m∠1=m∠2 ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

m∠1+(m∠1)=90\°

2m∠1=90\°

m∠1=45\°

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

45\°

You plant a garden in the shape of a triangle as shown in the figure. What is the perimeter of the garden? Find the values of x
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

x = 42°

y = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, two sides will be equal and measure 8 yd.

Measure of 3rd side of the triangle = 6 yd

Perimeter of the garden = 8 + 8 + 6

                                        = 22 yd

In an isosceles triangle, opposite angles of the equal sides will be equal.

Therefore, y = 69°

By the property of interior angles of a triangle,

x° + y° + 69° = 180°

x° + 69° + 69° = 180°

x = 180 - 138

x = 42°
