Division I think It’s right not sure
If the gum costs 75 cents today, which is 3 cents less than three times what the pack cost 20 years ago, we just need to arrange what we know into an equation.
We know that the price of gum today is 75 cents, so we can leave that on one side of the equation as a constant. Also, since we are dealing only with cents and not dollars, there is no need to shift the decimal point to the left.
? = 75
Now, we can work the equation.
The problem tells us that 75 is 3 cents less than three times the old cost. So, if x is the old cost, we can work out the equation based on that.
It says that it's 3 cents less than 3 times x. The question is basically the equation in word form.
3x - 3 = 75
'3x' being the "three times the old cost" part, '- 3' being the "3 cents less" part, and '75' of course being the current price of a pack of gum.
Option C is your correct answer.
BTW if we were to solve this, we would see that the old price of a pack of gum is:
3x - 3 = 75
+ 3 + 3
3x = 78
/3 /3
x = 26
20 years ago, a 75-cent pack of gum cost 26 cents.
Hope that helped! =)
If the length of a side is x, then the surface area of a face of the cube is x squared. there are six sides in a cube so 6(x^2) would be the surface area.
6(x^2)=150
(x^2)=25
x=5
Answer:
v(0) = 32,000 . . . dollars
v(13) = 16,427 . . . dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial value is the value of the function for t=0. Put that into the formula and evaluate.
v(0) = 32,000(0.95^0) = 32,000 . . . . dollars
__
The value after 13 years is the function value for t=13. Put that into the formula and evaluate.
v(13) = 32,000(0.95^13) ≈ 32,000·0.513342 ≈ 16,427 . . . . dollars
I don’t think you can do that
