Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

8.89%

The answer is 8.89%

Here is how we arrived at this.

Dividend = 1$ times 4

= $4 annually

Then we calculate for the nominal rate of return.

This is equal to dividend / price.

= $4/ $45

= 0.0889

To convert this to percentage

0.089 x 100

= 8.89% is the nominal annual rate of return.

Shelley compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as part of a study about hardwood trees and a woodlot she

Masja [62]

There were 72 (108 - 36) more maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There were 108 maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There are 36 maple trees in the woodlot after the bug problem.

The following information is given in the question:

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees before bug problem = 9:5

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees after replanting = 3:11

Total number of oak trees after replanting =132

Total number of trees in the woodlot is the same before and after the bug problem.

Let the number of maple trees after replanting be 'x'

From the data above, we can find the number of maple trees after replanting as follows:

$\frac{3}{11} = \frac{x}{132}$
