2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 so at the end of February 4/10 was used up
And at the end of January, 3/10 was used
so 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10
At the end of February, 7/10 of the wood was used
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of months in two years is 24 months.
Now, with a repayment plan of $400 per month, the total amount returned will be 400 * 24 = $9,600
Now, $8,000 was borrowed but $9,600 was returned
The amount of interest is 9600-8000 = 1600
So what percentage of 8,000 is 1600?
1600/8000 * 100 = 16/80 * 100 = 1/5 * 100 = 20%
Answer:
x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?
Mathematically this is expressed as
(1/x)⁵
We have a rule when it comes to expressing power
(1/a)^b = a^-b
Hence, applying this rule to our question
(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5
= x^-5
This is written in words as:
x to the power of negative 5
