The answer is A. 18.02
if you do 20 - 15% = 17 17 + 6% = 18.02
Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = $1,400
r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125
n = 4 years
The 4th term(year), T4 is
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3
T4 = $1453.16
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Answer:
30, 30, 120
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, we'll convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and check about, keeping in mind that, there are 5280 feet in 1mile.
