Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.

Answer: 449,100 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of iceberg = 450,000 lb

The percentage of weight iceberg loses during the day = 0.2%=0.002

Now, the decrease in weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $0.002\times 450000=900\ lb$

Therefore, the new weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $450000-900=449,100\ lb$

Sharonda uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at her restaurant. She needs to buy 120

White raven [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

ATQ,

Let d be the number of kilograms of dark chocolate she buys and m be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate she buys.

She needs to buy 120 kg of chocolate in total for her next order, and her recipe calls for twice the amount of dark chocolate as milk chocolate.

So,

m = 2d .....(1)

m + d = 120 ...(2)

We can also solve the above equations,

Put m = 2d in equation (2)

2d + d = 120

3d=120

d = 40

Put d = 40 in equation (1)

m = 2(40)

m = 80

Hence, she will need 40 kg of dark chocolate and 80 kg of milk chocolate.

Use the formula for compound amount:$14,800 at 6% compounded semiannually for 4 years

GalinKa [24]

SOLUTION

Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the formula for calculating compound amount

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A = final compounded amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

STEP 2: Write the given data

Semiannually means that n will be 2

$P=14,800,r=\frac{6}{100}=0.06,n=2,t=4$

STEP 3: Calculate the compound amount

$\begin{gathered} A=14800(1+\frac{0.06}{2})^{2\times4}\Rightarrow A=14800(1+0.03)^{2\times4} \\ A=14800(1.03)^8 \\ A=14800\times1.266770081 \\ A=\text{\$}18,748.1972 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the compounded amount after 4 years is $18,748.1972
