4=1.1e^(0.047t)  divide both sides by 1.1

40/11=e^(0.047t)  take the natural log of both sides

ln(40/11)=0.047t  divide both sides by 0.047

t=ln(40/11)/0.047

t≈24.5

1980+24.5

2007.5

So during 2007 the price will reach $4.

Answer:

The option A.) 2007 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula which is to be used is given :

P(t) = 1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}

where P(t) is the function of time t and t is the time in years after January 1 , 1980

Now, we need to find the year when the price will reach $4

So, substituting P(t) = 4 and finding the value of t from the given equation.

\implies 4=1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 3.64=e^{0.047t}\\\\\text{Taking natural log ln on both the sides}\\\\\implies \ln 3.64=\ln e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 1.29=0.047\cdot t\\\\\implies t = 27.49

So, t = 27.49 which is approximately equals to 27.5 years

So, 27.5 years after January 1, 1980 is the year 2007

Hence, The price will reach $4 in the year 2007

Therefore, The option A.) 2007 is correct

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$837.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

He makes a guaranteed salary of $400 per week

Commision on top of his base salary equal to 25% of his total sales for the week

Required

His total salary when he made sales of 25%

Step two

let us solve for 25% of $1750 made

=25/100*$1750

=0.25*$1750

=$437.5

Hence his total payment for the week will be

=$400+$437.5

=$837.5

Also, if the sales is $x his pay would be

let y be his pay

y=0.25x+400

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

3000 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 in the hundreds place if the number 587,349 has a value of 300. This 300 is 1/10 the value of the number you're looking for, so if x is the number you're looking for, then

300 =  \frac{1}{10} x

300 \times 10 =  \frac{1}{10} x \times 10

3000 = x

x is your answer.
