First you do 7.9/ 1/4, that gets you 1.975. that is how much blue paint there is. Then you do 7.9-1.975= 5.925, which is how much white paint she used. So in total she used 1.975 pints of blue paint, and 5.925 pints of white paint.

At one time the price of gasoline was $1.279 a gallon. Then the price
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1.6627 (money wise, $1.66)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its 130%, you know there was already a whole increase. So first you would do 1.279 + 1.279, which would give you 2.558. Then you need to calculate 30% of 1.279 for the rest of the increase. That gives you 0.3837 Add 2.558 and 0.3837 together, which would give you 2.9417. To get the INCREASE, you would have to subtract the new total from the original price, so 2.9417 - 1.279. This would give you 1.6627.

A worker was paid a salary of $10,500 in 1985. Each year, a salary increase of 6% of the previous year's salary was awarded. How
Mazyrski [523]
Note that 6% converted to a decimal number is 6/100=0.06. Also note that 6% of a certain quantity x is 0.06x.

Here is how much the worker earned each year:


In the year 1985 the worker earned <span>$10,500. 

</span>In the year 1986 the worker earned $10,500 + 0.06($10,500). Factorizing $10,500, we can write this sum as:

                                            $10,500(1+0.06).



In the year 1987 the worker earned

$10,500(1+0.06) + 0.06[$10,500(1+0.06)].

Now we can factorize $10,500(1+0.06) and write the earnings as:

$10,500(1+0.06) [1+0.06]=$10,500(1.06)^2.


Similarly we can check that in the year 1987 the worker earned $10,500(1.06)^3, which makes the pattern clear. 


We can count that from the year 1985 to 1987 we had 2+1 salaries, so from 1985 to 2010 there are 2010-1985+1=26 salaries. This means that the total paid salaries are:

10,500+10,500(1.06)^1+10,500(1.06)^2+10,500(1.06)^3...10,500(1.06)^{26}.

Factorizing, we have

=10,500[1+1.06+(1.06)^2+(1.06)^3+...+(1.06)^{26}]=10,500\cdot[1+1.06+(1.06)^2+(1.06)^3+...+(1.06)^{26}]

We recognize the sum as the geometric sum with first term 1 and common ratio 1.06, applying the formula

\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i= a(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}) (where a is the first term and r is the common ratio) we have:

\sum_{i=1}^{26} a_i= 1(\frac{1-(1.06)^{26}}{1-1.06})= \frac{1-4.55}{-0.06}= 59.17.



Finally, multiplying 10,500 by 59.17 we have 621.285 ($).


The answer we found is very close to D. The difference can be explained by the accuracy of the values used in calculation, most important, in calculating (1.06)^{26}.
