Answer: There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the total weight of the bag by the water percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

30 x (74/100) = 30 x 0.74 =22.2 pounds

There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Answer:

$k=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the left hand side as a negative power, and 9 as a power of 3:

$3^-^k=3^2$ At this point, for the equality to still stand, the exponents have to be equal:

$-k = 2 \rightarrow k=-2$

Answer:

D or the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, you got me kinda confused. Is it saying that there is multiple equations to answer this? Well anyways, D would be the answer. When the variable (w) is beside the coefficient, it means you multiple them together. (W) standing for weeks multiplied by 12 which is how much you earn each week would get you the total amount. The rest just don't make sense.

You have agreed to loan some money to a friend at a simple interest rate of 180% which is outrageous but still about half of the

choli [55]

Answer:

the amount borrowed is ≅ $527

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

simple interest rate r = 180% p.a

Let the amount borrowed (principal) be $x.

time t = 4 weeks = 28 days

= 28/365 year

= 0.0767 year

we all know that :

$Simple \ \ interest = \dfrac{P*r*t}{100}$

$Simple \ \ interest = \dfrac{x*180*0.0767}{100}$

Simple interest = 0.13806x

Total amount to be paid after 4 weeks= Interest+Principal

= x + 0.13806x

= 1.13806x

Thus;

1.13806x = $600

x = $600/ 1.13806

x = $527.21

Hence; the amount borrowed is ≅ $527
