Answer:11.7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.
2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)
3. Make your equation
20(9*(.015))+9
+9 is your starting point
9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year
20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years
4. Crunch em numbers
PEMDAS
The parking lot is 14 yards long by 7 yards wide.
A = W x L The formula is ....
L = W + 7 The problem tells us that ...
A = W (W + 7)
A = w^2 + 7w
98 = w^2 + 7x
... continue from there
"Pi", written as π - is an irrational number.
π≈3.14
Answer:
B. -7j-k-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify:
1. IDENTIFY LIKE TERMS
<em>10k</em>+17-7j-18-<em>11k</em>
- <em>10k and -11k are like terms since they have the same variable.</em>
- 17 and -18 are like terms since they are regular numbers.
2. COMBINE LIKE TERMS
-7j-<em>k</em>-1
To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.
5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c
13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5
Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70
Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.
So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.
Hope this helps :)
