Answer:

1999 moves are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - In solving a jigsaw puzzle, a move consists of joining two clusters, including clusters of just one piece.

This means exactly n-1 moves are required to solve a jigsaw puzzle with n pieces.

Here, n = 2000

So, moves will be = 2000-1=1999

Hence. 1999 moves are needed to solve the puzzle.

Solution: As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need \[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\] moves to complete the puzzle.

Answer:

  $131,600

Step-by-step explanation:

If the listing price is P, then the net is the difference between that and all of the various costs.

  P -(5%×P) -94,000 -16000 = 15,000

  0.95P = 125,000

  P ≈ 131,600 . . . . . . divide by 0.95

The minimum listing price must be $131,600.

You owe $1,945.61 on a credit card that has an 11.2% APR. The minimum payment due is $156.00. You decide to pay $300.00. How muc
djyliett [7]
We are given
P = <span>$1,945.61
r = 11.2%
Amin = $156
A = $300

First, we convert the interest to effective monthly terms
i = 11.2%/12 = 0.933%

After one month, the interest saved by paying more than the minimum is
</span>(0.00933) (300 - 156) = $1.35

What does an increase in taxes and decrease in the money supply do to the supply and demand curves?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The supply and demand curves will shift to the left i.e. there will be a decrease in demand and supply.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Tax is a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.

Secondly: Money supply is the total amount of monetary assets available in an economy at a specific time.

When tax is increased, this means individuals and businesses have to contribute more to the state revenue leaving both categories with lesser income or profit i.e. lesser to spend.

In the same way, when money supply decreases, there is lesser money available to both individuals and businesses

What this implies is that demand will decrease because income has decreased. Supply will also decrease because producers will not make as much profit given the increase in tax (tax is considered cost of production).

As a result of this, the demand curve shifts to the left, the supply curve also shift to the left because both demand and supply will decrease.
