Hey :)

<span>Lets n be the number of nickels Sue has. Then the number of dimes is equal to (16-n). So, Sue has 5*n cents in nickels and 10*(16-n) cents in dimes. Since the total amount Sue has is $1.15, or 115 cents, it gives you an equation 5n + 10*(16-n) = 115.

Simplify this equation: 5n +160-10n = 115 (after opening parentheses) -5n = 115-160 (after collecting like terms at the left side and moving 160 to the right side with the opposite sign) -5n = -45 (after collecting like terms at the right side) n = 9 (after dividing both sides by -5). So, the number of nickels is equal to 9. The number of dimes is equal to 16 minus the number of nickels, that is 16-n = 16-9 = 7.

Check. The total number of coins is equal to 9 + 7 = 16. The total amount is equal to 9*5 + 7*10 = 45 + 70 = 115. The solution is correct.

Answer. Sue has 9 nickels and 7 dimes.

Hope this helps! :)</span>

The population of a town is 14,000 and is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year. Write an exponential decay equation to find th
sergejj [24]

Answer: the population after 10 years is 12036

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 14000

r = 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = 10 years

Therefore, the exponential decay equation to find the population of the town after 10 years is

A = 14000(1 - 0.015)^10

A = 14000(0.985)^10

A = 12036
