Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
Answer:
$1,109.62
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first compute the <em>future value FV.</em>
In order to see the rule of formation, let's see the value (in $) for the first few years
<u>End of year 0</u>
1,000
<u>End of year 1(capital + interest + new deposit)</u>
1,000*(1.09)+10
<u>End of year 2 (capital + interest + new deposit)</u>
(1,000*(1.09)+10)*1.09 +10 =

<u>End of year 3 (capital + interest + new deposit)</u>

and we can see that at the end of year 50, the future value is

The sum

is the <em>sum of a geometric sequence </em>with common ratio 1.09 and is equal to

and the future value is then

The <em>present value PV</em> is

rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
15,000
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of 15,000 is 3,000. 15,000-3,000=12,000
Answer:
x = 32 y = 16 z = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the 1st number
y is the 2nd number
z is the 3rd number
The first number is twice the second number so
x = 2 y
The third number is twice the first number.
z = 2 x
Their sum is 112
x + y + z = 112
Plus in what we know:
x + y + z = 112
2 y + y + 2x = 112
3y + 2x = 112 Let's solve for y and subtract 2x from each side
3y = 112 - 2x Divide both sides by 3
y = 
Now plug our answer back in to solve for x.
x = 2y
x = 2 (
)
x = (224 - 4x) / 3 Multiply each side by 3.
3x = 224 - 4x Add 4x to each side
3x + 4x = 224
7x = 224 Divide each side by 7
7x / 7 = 224 / 7
x = 32
Now we can solve for z.
z = 2x
z = 2 ( 32 )
z = 64
Now we can solve for the numerical value of y.
x + y + z = 112
32 + y + 64 = 112
96 + y = 112 Subtract 96 from each side.
y = 112 - 96
y = 16
The correct answer is choice B.
