How can you determine the sale price if you are given the regular price and the percent of markdown?

1 answer:

8 0

You convert the percentage into a fraction, multiply this by the sale price, then subtract by this number. Example: Price is $20.00 and the markdown is 20%. First make 20% a decimal by dividing by 100 to get 0.2. Multiply 0.2 by 20 to get 4. Now take 4 and subtract it from 20 to get 16. So a markdown of 20% of a $20.00 item is $16.00

In 2018, the population will grow over 700,000.The population of a city in 2010 was 450,000 and was growing at a rate of 5% per

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The year is 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of years passed since 2010 to reach population more than 7000000 be 'x'.

Given:

Initial population is, $P_0=450,000$

Growth rate is, $r=5\%=0.05$

Final population is, $P=700,000$

A population growth is an exponential growth and is modeled by the following function:

$P=P_0(1+r)^x$

Taking log on both sides, we get:

$\log(P)=\log(P_0(1+r)^x)\\\log P=\log P_0+x\log (1+r)\\x\log (1+r)=\log P-\log P_0\\x\log(1+r)=\log(\frac{P}{P_0})\\x=\frac{\log(\frac{P}{P_0})}{\log(1+r)}$
