Answer:
The number of deserters is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.
The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.
If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.
If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.
If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.
If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.
The deserters are 34:

Answer:

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

And then the value of t would be:

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.
For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means
and we want to find the value for t.

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

And then the value of t would be:

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.
