Well every time it gets rid of a shell it grows 1 1/3 times larger. So so to see how much it grows after the first time you say
1 cm * 1 1/3 = 1 1/3 cm

to get the next one you do the same
1 1/3 cm * 1 1/3 cm = 16/9

It will keep going multiplying by 1 1/3. So so we can say in an equation that the
(initial size) * 1 1/3 *(number of shells) = length

Or 1cm * 1 1/3 * n = L

We we know the final length is 10cm

So 1 1/3 * n = 10cm

n = 7.5shells

so approximately 7 or 8 shells

Which of the following companies offers the greatest total employment compensation? Company A Company B Company C Company D Gros
san4es73 [151]

we know that

To find the company with the greatest total employee compensation package, adds each company's gross pay, paid insurance, and paid time off, then subtract the job expenses on the sum

So

Find the total employee compensation package for each company

Step 1

Find the total employee compensation package for company A

total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses

total\ employee\ compensation=37,600+2,800+3,100-1,200\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,300\ dollars

Step 2

Find the total employee compensation package for company B

total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses

total\ employee\ compensation=36,800+2,400+3,600-600\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,200\ dollars

Step 3

Find the total employee compensation package for company C

total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses

total\ employee\ compensation=38,100+2,100+2,900-300\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,800\ dollars

Step 4

Find the total employee compensation package for company D

total\ employee\ compensation=gross\ pay\ +\ paid\ insurance\ +\ paid\ time\ -\ job\ expenses

total\ employee\ compensation=39,000+1,800+2,500-800\\ total\ employee\ compensation=42,500\ dollars

therefore

the answer is

the company with the greatest total employee compensation package is the company C
