Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x, then

<u>Initial amount per student was:</u>

  • 100/x

<u>After it becomes:</u>

  • 100/(x - 5)

<u>Since amount increased after, it can be shown as:</u>

  • 100/x + 1 = 100/(x - 5)

<u>Multiply each term by x(x - 5) to get rid of the fraction:</u>

  • 100(x-5) + x(x - 5) = 100x
  • 100x - 500 + x² - 5x - 100x = 0
  • x² - 5x - 500 = 0

<u>Positive solution of this quadratic equation is </u>

  • x = 25

<u>Amount each person paid after:</u>

  • $100 / (25 - 5) = $5

2. Rainey graphed a function with exponential growth and an initial value of 15. Which of the following could represent the equa
Mars2501 [29]

Exponential equation are functions defined by y =ab^x

The equation that could represent Rainey graph must take the form y =15b^x

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

An exponential equation is represented as:

y =ab^x

Where:

  • a represents the initial value
  • b represents the rate

The initial value (a) is 15.

So, the equation becomes

y =15b^x

The graph is not given;

So, the equation cannot be determined.

Assume that the rate is 2.

Then the function would be: y =15(2)^x

What number comes next in the series? 31, 1031, 402, 16, ____
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Another person already answered this question. Their name is writersparadise. I give all credit to him/her for this answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

There could be many answers for this question. In general, the number that comes after 16 is a number with 8 as the sum of its digits.

Explanation:

1st number 31 – Sum of digits is 3 + 1 = 4  

2nd number 1031 – Sum of digits is 1 + 0 + 3 + 1 = 5

3rd number 402 – Sum of digits is 4 + 0 + 2 = 6

4th number 16 – Sum of digits is 1 + 6 = 7

Therefore, the missing number could be the single digit number 8 or any of the two-digit numbers 17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71 or 80. It could also be a bigger number with the digits of any of the given two-digit numbers and 0 for the other digits such as 260 or 7001.
