1.Make y the subject

k = xy

k/x = xy/x

y = k/x

2.Substitute

y = k/x

y = 7/9

y = 0.777......

y = 0.8 (Answer)

To confirm

k = xy

k = 9 × 0.8

k = 7.2

k = 7 (constant)

Hope it helps☺

A bag contains 6 yellow marbles and 18 red. If a representative sample contains 2 yellow marbles, then how many red would you ex

kramer

Answer:

6 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first find our multiplier since a sample represents a population (the whole thing).

6/2 = 3, so 3 * 2 = 6.

I will use the value of 6/2, aka 3 and use that as my divisor.

18/3 = 6.

Therefore, you would expect to have 6 red marbles.

Bailey bought a lawnmower for $600. The value of the lawnmower depreciates 2% every year. What is the value of the lawnmower aft

givi [52]

Answer:

$542

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential decay function is given by

$y=a(1-r)^x$

where

y is the value of the lawnmower

x is the time in years

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

$a=\$600\\r=2\%=2/100=0.02$

substitute

$y=600(1-0.02)^x$

$y=600(0.98)^x$

For x=5 years

$y=600(0.98)^5=\$542$
