Suppose the CPI has a value of 225.3 exactly one year ago, and the current value of this index is 231.16, a rise of 5.86 points.

Answer:

2.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the current CPI = 231.56

Previous CPI (CPI a year ago) = 225.3

Rate of inflation over the past year = current CPI - previous CPI/previous CPI × 100%

Rate of inflation = 231.56-225.3/225.3 × 100%

5.86/225.3× 100%

= 2.6%

Rate of inflation over the past year will be 2.6%

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.
goldfiish [28.3K]
<span>To write a two-variable equation, you would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, you would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. You could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. Your variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation you could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.</span>

A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour. (a) Find a function N that models the number of bact
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: a) N(t)=1500(2)^t

b) 25165824000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth is given by :-

y= ab^t , where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.

Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.

i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2

Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :

N(t)=1500(2)^t

To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get

N(24)=1500(2)^{24}\\\\=1500(16777216)=25165824000

Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.

Comparing Leaking Pool Problem
Blababa [14]

Answer:

<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rates of change</u>

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.

To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:

15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours

20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Now compute both rates of change:

Pool 1:

\displaystyle ROC_1=\frac{2/3}{1/4}=\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.67\ gal/h

Pool 2:

\displaystyle ROC_2=\frac{3/4}{1/3}=\frac{9}{4}= 2.25\ gal/h

Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.
