Answer: $32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The price of gourmet coffee beans at the corner market has increased 10% (0.1) per year over the past several years.

The current cost is $40 per pound .

The exponential decay equation is given by :-

y=A(1-r)^x, where r is the rate of decay and A is the initial amount and x is the time period.

Put A = 40 , r= 0.1 and t=2, we get

y=40(1-0.1)^2=\$32.4

Hence, the cost of  a pound of gourmet beans two years ago= $32.4

$20 because 10% of 40 is 10 and the price now is 40 so 2 years before would have been 20

Write an inequality that represents the following:
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The maximum number of hours can be spend on work is 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The fixed charge of an auto shop = $100

The labor charge of auto shop = $175 per hour

The maximum money to be spend = $800

Let The maximum number of hours can be spend on work = n hours

<u>According to question</u>

The maximum money to be spend = fixed charge of an auto shop + labor charge of auto shop per hour × maximum number of hours

Or, $800 = $100 + $175 × n

Or, $175 × n = $800 - $100

Or, $175 × n = $700

∴ n = \frac{700}{175}

i.e n = 4

So, The maximum number of hours can be spend on work = n = 4 hours

Hence, maximum number of hours can be spend on work is 4 hours Answer
