Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in
Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

About 163 388 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of employees in the company be represented by x. Thus:

18.3\% \: of \: x = 29900

18.3\% \:x \:  = 29900

\frac{18.3}{100}x = 29900

0.183x = 29900

Divide through by 0.183

\frac{0.183x}{0.183}  =  \frac{29900}{0.183}

x = 163387.9

x = 163388 \: to \: nearest \: whole \: number

The total number of employees in one country is about 163388
