Answer:

72/4=18 so she could make their lunch for 18 days

for the apples it would be 8x9 which is 72

the cookies would be 12x6 to get 72

and the juice boxes would be 9x8 to get 72

Lily pads increase by 25% every 10 days.lf a pond starts with 22 lily pads,how many will there be after 50 days?
Fantom [35]

We conclude that after 50 days, there will be 67 lily pads.

<h3>how many will there be after 50 days?</h3>

We know that the number increases by 25% every 10 days.

In 50 days we have 5 groups of 10 days, so there will be five increases of 25%.

We know that the initial number is 22 lily pads, if we apply five consecutive increases of the 25% we get:

N = 22*(1 + 25%/100)*...*(1 + 25%/100%)

( the factor (1 + 25%/100%) appears five times)

So we can rewrite:

N = 22*(1 + 25%/100%)⁵

N = 22*(1 + 0.25)⁵ = 67.1

Which can be rounded to the nearest whole number, which is 67.

So we conclude that after 50 days, there will be 67 lily pads.
