How many 8's are in the answer and sum 5890/45?
1 answer:
Answer:
- <em><u>1. There are infinite 8's</u></em>
- <em><u>2. The estimate is 130.89</u></em>
- <em><u>3. The difference is 0.01</u></em>

Explanation:
There are countless, or infinite, 8's in the answer because the result is a periodic decimal:
The notation used for the periodic decimal numbers is an arc over the number that is repeated. In this case, it would be an arc over the first 8.
I will use a bar just to show how it is, but instead of a bar it should be an arc:
The <em>estimation</em> or approximation to <em>two decimal places</em> requires to drop the 8's since the third one and increase the second 8 to 9 (because the first decimal dropped is greater than or equal to 5).
Thus the estimated value would be 13.89.
The difference is:
- 130.89 - 130.888. . . = 0.0111. . .
- Rounded to 2 decimal places: 0.01

Answer:
P(t) = 282.2(1.009)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached image.
Hope you can read my handwriting. the image cut off the right side, b = 1.009213324... but question asks to round to nearest thousandth so it's 1.009
For the second part just use the equation to find P when t = -1 and see if P is less than (underpredicts) the number from the question or greater than (overpredicts) the number. I haven't calculated it but I think it will be smaller and thus underpredicts just from looking at the numbers when t = -1
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced= * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
