Answer:

Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.

2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.

We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.

23 = x + (x + 7)

16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)

x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)

So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.

8 + 7 = ?

? = 15

Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.

Suppose that a phone that originally sold for $800 loses 3/5 of its value each year after it is released.

Answer:

It will be worth $128.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 year, 3/5 of 800 is 480 which leaves the value at $320, and then after 2 years, 3/5 of 320 is 192. 320-192 leaves the value at $128.

suppose you deposit $1000 in a savings account that pays 4.8% interest compounded monthly. Write an exponential function to mode

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The exponential function is $A(t) = 1000(1.004)^{12t}$ .

You will have $1,100.55 in the account after 2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Deposit $1000 in a savings account that pays 4.8% interest compounded monthly.

This means that $P = 1000, r = 0.048, n = 12$ . So
