Answer:
Last year there were 550 bison in the heard and this year it is 10% larger.
10% is also 10/100 or 0.10
To find 10% of the heard last year
550 x.0.10 = 55. To find the number in the heard this year add 550 (last year) + 55 (10% growth) = 605 or,
to find how many there are now last years heard size was 100% of the heard or 1.00. To find any percent more add it to 1.00 and multiply by the starting amount.
550 x 1.10 = 605
For the second example.
If there are 550 bison in the heard this year, and this year was a decrease of 10% from last year we can express last year's number like this.
550 = (x - (x * 0.10)) simplify;
550 = 1x - 0.10x
550 = 0.90x
Divide both sides by 0.90
x = 611.11 but it's hard to have 0.11 of a bison so realistically 611 bison last year. Subtract 10% or 61 and you indeed have 550 this year.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A) R = 1900 -24t
B) 1684 billion barrels
C) 79.17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>A)</h3>
Reserves start at 1900 billion barrels and decrease by 24 billion barrels each year. The value for t=0 is 1900; the value for t=1 is 24 less.
R = 1900 -24t
__
<h3>B)</h3>
For t=9, the reserves will be ...
R = 1900 -24(9) = 1900 -216 = 1684 . . . . billion barrels
__
<h3>C)</h3>
The reserve will be 0 when ...
0 = 1900 -24t
24t = 1900 . . . . . add 24t
t ≈ 79.17 . . . . divide by 24
Reserves will be gone in about 79.17 years.
We are given here the individual costs of DVD and CD as well as the total sales and the number of items sold on one day. To solve the number of DVDs and CDs sold each, we devise two independent linear equations:
(1) x + y = 39
(2) 4x + 7y = 204
x- number of DVDs; y - number of CDs
solving, x= 23 DVDs
y = 16 CDs
