so the cost was 1477, which is 177 over the budget, meaning the budget is 1477 - 177 or just 1300.

now, if we take 1300 to be the 100%, how much in percentage is 177, the overflown amount?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 1300&100\\ 177&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1300}{177}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies 1300p=17700\implies p=\cfrac{17700}{1300} \\\\\\ p=\cfrac{177}{13}\implies p\approx 13.62\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{p=14}

Answer:

<em>The cost exceeded the budgeted cost by 14%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplies for last year cost $1,477, <u>which was $177 over budget</u>. So, the budgeted cost was:  (\$1477-\$177)=\$1300

Suppose, the cost of supplies exceeded the budgeted cost by  x\%

So, <u>the amount of exceeded cost</u> =1300\times x\%=1300\times \frac{x}{100}= 13x dollar.

Thus, the equation will be......

13x=177\\ \\ x=\frac{177}{13}=13.615... \approx 14

<em>(Rounded to the nearest 1%)</em>

So, the cost exceeded the budgeted cost by 14%

If a boat depreciates in value according to the simple interest formula Y=20,000(.92)^2 find the rate of decay. Write as a perce
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Rate of Decay = 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula is:

F=P(1-r)^t

Where F is the final value (here, it is given as "Y")

P is the initial value (here, given as 20,000)

r is the rate of decay (what we need to find)

t is the time (given as 2)

Comparing both the equations:

F=P(1-r)^t\\Y=20,000(0.92)^2

We see that:

1 - r  =0.92

We solve for "r":

1 - 0.92 = r

0.08 = r

The rate of decay is 0.08, as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so we have:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

Rate of Decay = 8%
