Answer: The answer is -36

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of -36 is -27

Let x be the number  

3/4 of x = -27

Means

(3/4)(x)= -27

3x/4= -27

Multiply by 4 both sides

 

(4)(3x/4)=(-27)(4)

Cancel out 4 from Right hand side and multiply 4 on left hand side

3x=-108

Divide by 3 both sides

3x/3=-108/3

Cancel out 3 from Right hand side

x=-36

Number is -36

Have a great day!

Assume the rate of inflation is 5​% per year for the next 2 years. What will be the cost of goods 2 years from​ now, adjusted fo
kirza4 [7]
The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.

where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form 
t = number of years

In this case, 
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years

We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70

Answer: 308.70 dollars
