The ratio of the frequency at which he picks blue is 18:32 which simplifies to 9:16 but if you want a percentage its 36%
Answer:
$777.60
Step-by-step explanation:
8/100 = 0.08
0.08 * 720 = 57.6
57.6 + 720 = 777.6
recall minus * minus * minus * minus * minus is minus.
The number of pencils is directly proportional to the cost. ... Two values x and y are inversely proportional to each other when their product xy is a constant (always remains the same). This means that whenx increases y will decrease, and vice versa, by an amount such that xyremains the same.
The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.
