<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer.

                          C. 18.51 g

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The situation of this problem can be modeled with the help of the exponential decay function :

i.e. any component if it has a initial amount as a units and is decaying at a rate of r% then the amount after t years is given by:

n(t)=a(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^t

Here we have:

r=13%

and a=300 g

and t=20 years

Hence, we have

n(20)=300\cdot (1-\dfrac{13}{100})^{20}\\\\i.e.\\\\n(20)=300\cdot (1-0.13)^{20}\\\\i.e.\\\\n(20)=300\cdot (0.87)^{20}\\\\n(20)=300\cdot 0.061714\\\\i.e.\\\\n(20)=18.5142\ g

The amount that will be left after 20 years is:  18.51 g

If the perimeter of vectangle wall is 360 cm and its breath is 60cm. Find its length and also find the totalt cost of painting t
alexdok [17]

Answer:

<u>Rs. 72</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 values here,

  • Perimeter of the rectangle = 360 cm
  • Breadth of the rectangle (b) = 60 cm.

Firstly, we must find the length of the rectangle (l).

So, according to the formula,

Perimeter = 2 (b + l)

360 = 2 (60 + l)

360 = 120 + 2l

360 - 120 = 2l

240 = 2l

120 cm = l

Now, we need to find the area of the rectangular wall & then convert it from cm² to m² as the cost of painting is given in m².

So,

Area = lb

Area = 120 × 60

Area = 7,200 cm²

Let's convert it to m² now,

7200/1000

= 7.2 m²

Given, cost of painting per m² = Rs. 10

So, the cost of painting the wall is,

10 × 7.2

= <u>Rs. 72</u>

<u>________________________________</u>

Hope it helps!
