Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

Mika placed $4200 in a savings account which compounds interest continuously at a rate of 2.3%.

How much will she have in the account after 3 years?

1st year 4200 x 1.023 = 4296.60

2nd year 4296.60 x 1.023 = 4395.4218

3rd year 4395.4218  x 1.023 = 4496.5165

Round to the nearest dollar.

$4497

Carl is standing at the top of 35 Ft cliff looking down at a rock for motion in the sea. He estimates the angle of depression is
Liula [17]

The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.

Data;

  • Angle = 30 degree
  • Opposite = 35
  • Adjacent = x

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

Given the angle of depression from his point to the sea, we can use trigonometric ratio to calculate for the horizontal distance from his location to the bottom of the sea.

SOHCAHTOA

Since we have the value of angle and opposite and we need to calculate the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle, we can use the tangent of the angle to this effect.

Tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan 30 = \frac{35}{x}\\ x = \frac{35}{tan30}\\ x = 60.62ft

The horizontal distance between Carl and the rock at sea is approximately 60.62ft.
