X - the percent decrease

60-60x=39 \ \ \ |-60 \\
-60x=-21 \ \ \ |\div (-60) \\
x=\frac{-21}{-60} \\ \Downarrow \\ x=\frac{-21}{-60}=\frac{-21 \div (-3)}{-60 \div (-3)}=\frac{7}{20}=\frac{7 \times 5}{20 \times 5}=\frac{35}{100}=35\%

It's a 35% decrease.

Answer:

1010

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a whole class of questions that rely on the method to this one.

First add up what you know

1270 + 1150 + 870 + 1450 = 4740

Now add on the 5th month (which you don't know. Call it x)

4740 + x

Divide by 5

(4740 + x)/5 = 1150 and that is your equation    

Solution

Multiply both sides by 5

5*(4740 + x) / 5 = 1150 * 5

4740 + x = 5750

Subtract 4740 from both sides

4740 - 4740 + x = 5750 - 4740

x = 1010

Which seems kind of low, but that's what the numbers come to.

9. The half-life of aspirin in your bloodstream is 12 hours. Use exponential model to
monitta

after 6.2 hours the dose will decay to 70% in your bloodstream.

<h3>How long you must wait for the dosage to decay to 70% in your bloodstream?</h3>

We know that the half-life is 12 hours. Then the exponential relation for an initial dosage of A is:

D(t) = A*e^{-t*ln(2)/12h}

If the dosage needs to decay to a 70% of the initial dosage, then we must have:

e^{-t*ln(2)/12h} = 0.7

Now we need to solve that for t:

If we apply the natural logarithm in both sides, we get:

ln(e^{-t*ln(2)/12h}) = ln(0.7)\\\\-t*ln(2)/12h = ln(0.7)\\\\t = -ln(0.7)*12h/ln(2) = 6.2h

So after 6.2 hours the dose will decay to 70% in your bloodstream.
