Michael's initial investment is $45.80, the cost of the share. 
Michael Receives $1.71 in dividends.
He receives $47.50 for the stock when he sells it.
His profit on the sale of the stock is $47.50 - 45.80 = $1.70.
His total return on the stock is his total earnings, the dividends plus his profits on the sale of the stock, divided on what he paid initially, $45.80:
(1.71 + 1.70) ÷ 45.80 = .0744 = 7.45%
7.45% return on investment in less than a year, not bad!
Closest answer is 7.7%, not sure why it isn't exactly 7.45 or 7.5%. 

Answer is B) 7.7%

Answer

x=33

Step-by-step explanation:

since they're both on the same line we must equal them to 180.

18 + x + 4x -3 = 180 (Now you simplify terms)

5x + 15 = 180 (Subtract the 15 from both sides)

5x = 165 (divide by 5 to isolate the variable)

x = 33 (Hope I was able to help :) )

In a capture-recapture study, 97 grizzly bears were tagged and released back into the wild. A month later, 200 bears were captur
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

539

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of  grizzly bears=x

In the first capture, 97 were tagged.

Therefore, ratio of the total population to the tagged=x:97

A month later, when 200 bears were captured, 36 were tagged.

Ratio of the sample to the tagged=200:36

Since a sample is representative of the population, the ratios are the same. We therefore have:

x:97=200:36

\dfrac{x}{97} =\dfrac{200}{36}\\ $Cross multiply\\36x=200 X 97\\x=200 X 97 \div 36\\x=538.9 \approx 539

There are about 539 grizzly bears in the population
