All you have to do is multiply both sides by the same number to get an equivalent ratio.
Since this is a problem in exponential growth/decay, y = ab^x is the formula that will be used to solve this problem.
The initial value, "a", is the value you start out with and in this case, it is $2000.
The growth/decay factor is what "b" represents, and it is 4%. We need to change the percentage into a decimal, so we will take the percent symbol, change it into a decimal, and move it two places to the left. This is make it 0.04. The problem also mentions interest, implying an exponential growth. Therefore, you will add 0.04 by 1: 1+0.04 = 1.04.
The "x" represents an amount of time. It is 5 years. The equation should be written like this:
y = 2000(1.04)^5
y = 2433.30. When rounded to the nearest dollar, it is $2433.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is simply a(1), and is 5.
The fourth term is a(4), and is 5 + (1/6)(4-1), or 5 3/6 or 5 1/2.
The tenth term is a(10), and is 5 + (1/6)(10 - 1), or 5 + 3/2, or 6 1/2.
We put the information above in a table as shown below
The number of bread available is 120, so the first constraint is
The number of cheese available is 160 slices, so the second constraint is
The next constraint is the profit
