The candle sales decreases to - 15 percentage.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(476 - 560) : 560 x 100

= (476 : 560 - 1)100

= 85 - 100 = - 15

Therefore, - 15% did the candle sales decrease.

Just a general tip: Zoom away further from the camera to capture the question clearer.

Calculate the Total: 31 students
A= 4/31= 13%
(A+B)/31 = 14/31 = 45%

The revenue each season from tickets at the theme part is represented by t(x) = 3x. The cost to pay the employees each season is

Triss [41]

Answer: The profit after 5 seasons is $239.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Revenue function is given by

$t(x)=3^x$

Cost function is given by

$r(x)=1.25^x$

So, We need to find the total profit:

As we know the formula for profit:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

$P(x)=t(x)-r(x)\\\\P(x)=3^x-1.25^x$

We need to evaluate the profit after five seasons:

$P(5)=3^5-1.25^5\\\\P(5)=\$239.94$

Hence, the profit after 5 seasons is $239.94.

A gold coin appreciated in value from $200.00 to $475.00 in 6 years. Find the yearly rate of appreciation. Show or explain all w

Travka [436]

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are using the standard growth equation:

$y=a(1+b)^x$

Were

$y$ is the final value after $x$ years

$a$ is the initial value

$b$ is the growth factor (yearly rate of appreciation in our case) in decimal form

$x$ is the time in years

We know from our problem that gold coin appreciated in value from $200.00 to $475.00 in 6 years, so $y=475$ , $a=200$ , and $x=6$ .

Let's replace the values in our equation and solve for $b$ :

$y=a(1+b)^x$

$475=200(1+b)^6$

$\frac{475}{200} =(1+b)^6$

$2.375=(1+b)^6$

$\sqrt[6]{2.375} =\sqrt[6]{(1+b)^6}$

$1+b=\sqrt[6]{2.375}$

$b=\sqrt[6]{2.375}-1$

$b=0.155$

which rounds to

$b=0.16$

Since our appreciation rate is in decimal form, we need to multiply it by 100% to express it as percentage:

0.16*100% = 16%

We can conclude that the yearly appreciation rate of our gold coin is approximately 16%
