The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent. By what percent is the number b smaller than the number a?

1 answer:

8 0

50%, because to exceed is to be larger than, so if A is larger than B by 50%, then that means that B is 50% smaller than A.

Suppose a population of honey bees in Ephraim, UT has an initial population of 2300 and 12 years later the population reaches 13

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

common ratio: 1.155

rate of growth: 15.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The model for exponential growth of population P looks like: $P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t$

where $P(t)$ is the population at time "t",

$P_i$ is the initial (starting) population

$(1+r)$ is the common ratio,

and $r$ is the rate of growth

Therefore, in our case we can replace specific values in this expression (including population after 12 years, and initial population), and solve for the unknown common ratio and its related rate of growth:

$P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t\\13000=2300*(1+r)^{12}\\\frac{13000}{2300} = (1+r)^12\\\frac{130}{23} = (1+r)^{12}\\1+r=\sqrt[12]{\frac{130}{23} } =1.155273\\$

This (1+r) is the common ratio, that we are asked to round to the nearest thousandth, so we use: 1.155

We are also asked to find the rate of increase (r), and to express it in percent form. Therefore we use the last equation shown above to solve for "r" and express tin percent form:

$1+r=1.155273\\r=1.155273-1=0.155273$

So, this number in percent form (and rounded to the nearest tenth as requested) is: 15.5 %

What is the nearest thousand place for 3,429

muminat

If the place to the right of where you are rounding is 5 or higher, you have to round up. If it is 4 or lower, you have to round down. In the hundreds place, there is a 4. That's lower than 5 meaning that you round down/stay. So, the nearest thousands place is 3,000.
