Suppose that the population of a town Increases by 3% each year. the population of the town today is 25,000

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The population of town after 1 year is 25,750 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The rate of increase in the population of town each year = 3 %

The initial population of town = 25,000

Let the population of town after one year = x

So,

The population after n year = initial population × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm n}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm 3}{100})^{\textrm 1}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × $(1.03)^{1}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × 1.03

∴ The population after 1 year = 25,750

Hence The population of town after 1 year is 25,750 . Answer

The youth group is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $63. Included in that price is $13 for a concert ticket and

Pepsi [2]

Hey there!

63 = 13 + 2P subtract 13 from both sides

50 = 2P divide both sides by 2

25 = P

So the cost of one pass = $25

Hope this helps!

The second of two numbers is 3 less than twice the first. Their sum is 36. Find the numbers.

o-na [289]

Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides

<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

<u>13 is the first number</u>

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>

Jeremiah jogged 3 3/4 miles on Saturday morning and 2 1/2 miles Saturday evening. How many miles did he jog on Saturday?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

6.25 Miles

6 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 2 = 5 MILES

1/2 you want the denominator to equal 4 so you times it by two

= 2/4

2/4+3/4= 5/4

this gives you one full mile and 1/4

add all together 5+1+1/4

I am picking this is right :)

Your friend says that 14.5% is equivilent to 14.5

SCORPION-xisa [38]

14.5% = 0.145 = 145/1000

14.5 = 14500/1000

<span>So 14.5% is a hundredth the size of 14.5, so they are not equal and the friend is incorrect.</span>
