Answer: $ 3045.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay equation with rate of growth r in time period t is given by :-

y=A(1-r)^t, where A is the initial amount

Given : The rate of decay of population every year : 15% =0.15

The initial value = $9500

Then , the exponential growth equation in time period t is given by :-

y=9500(1-0.15)^t=9500(0.85)^t

After t= 7 years

The value of the sailboat will be :-

y=9500(0.85)^{7}=3045.48233867\approx3045.48

Hence, the value of the sailboat after 7 years= $3045.48.

at the school fair, of the people are under 16 years old. one-third of the people are teachers. if there are at least 21 one tea
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Hello there!

Your correct answer will be 35 people under 16.

You know that 1/3 of the people are teachers, which means that 2/3 of people are left. Now, you need to get to the decimal value (.667). Make that number 1.667, because there will not be less teachers than students. Now, multiply:

1.667 x 21 = 35

There you go!
