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.

Sara Blake's grandmother gave her $3000.00 to save for college. She put it in a savings account that earns 6% interest per year.
Elina [12.6K]

• P is the principal amount, $3000.00.

• r is the interest rate, 6% per year, or in decimal form, 6/100=0.06.

• t is the time involved, 8 years time periods.

• So, t is 8 year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 3000 × 0.06 × 8 to get that:

The interest is: $1440.00

(Ross, 4.78) A jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles. We randomly choose 4 marbles. If 2 of them are white and 2 are black, w
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles

We randomly select 4 marbles out of which 2 are white and 2 are black

Probability that 2 white and 2 black marbles are selected is

P=\frac{^4C_2\times ^4C_2}{^8C_4}

P=\frac{18}{35}

The process is continue for n trails until we choose the correct order

i.e. we have to fail in n-1 trails

For exact n selection Probability is given by

Req.\ Probability=Probability\ of\ failure\ in\ (n-1)\ trials\times Probability\ of\ getting\ exact\ order

=\left ( 1-\frac{18}{35}\right )^{n-1}\times \frac{18}{35}

Find the values of x and y.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C, (x = 100, y = 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

hi again,

(2x - 70) = (x + 30), by the Alternate Exterior Angles

x - 70 = 30

<em>x = 100</em>

<em />

(2x - 70) + 5y = 180, by the Linear Pair Theorem

2(100) - 70 + 5y = 180

200 - 70 + 5y = 180

130 + 5y = 180

5y = 50

<em>y = 10</em>
