Answer:
common ratio: 1.155
rate of growth: 15.5 %
Step-by-step explanation:
The model for exponential growth of population P looks like: 
where
is the population at time "t",
is the initial (starting) population
is the common ratio,
and
is the rate of growth
Therefore, in our case we can replace specific values in this expression (including population after 12 years, and initial population), and solve for the unknown common ratio and its related rate of growth:
![P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t\\13000=2300*(1+r)^{12}\\\frac{13000}{2300} = (1+r)^12\\\frac{130}{23} = (1+r)^{12}\\1+r=\sqrt[12]{\frac{130}{23} } =1.155273\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28t%29%3DP_i%281%2Br%29%5Et%5C%5C13000%3D2300%2A%281%2Br%29%5E%7B12%7D%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B13000%7D%7B2300%7D%20%3D%20%281%2Br%29%5E12%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B130%7D%7B23%7D%20%3D%20%281%2Br%29%5E%7B12%7D%5C%5C1%2Br%3D%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B130%7D%7B23%7D%20%7D%20%3D1.155273%5C%5C)
This (1+r) is the common ratio, that we are asked to round to the nearest thousandth, so we use: 1.155
We are also asked to find the rate of increase (r), and to express it in percent form. Therefore we use the last equation shown above to solve for "r" and express tin percent form:

So, this number in percent form (and rounded to the nearest tenth as requested) is: 15.5 %
Answer:
x =147
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles is = 360 -(2x+1) ( since it will make a full circle)
42+(-124+x) =360-(2x+1)
Combine like terms
x-82 =359-2x
Add 2x to each side
x-82+2x = 359
3x -82 = 359
Add 82 to each side
3x-82+82 = 359+82
3x = 441
Divide by 3
3x/3=441/3
x =441/3 or 147
Answer:
$180
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we can set up a proportion and solve.
You earn $45 for 7.5 hours of work, and you earn $ x for 30 hours of work
45/7.5=x/30
Cross multiply
45*30=7.5*x
1350=7.5x
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. It is being multiplied by 7.5. To undo this, divide both sides by 7.5
1350/7.5=7.5x/7.5
180=x
So, for 30 hours of work, you would earn $180
Answer:
She will deposit $17.
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is really simple.
20% of $85= 0.20•85= 17=$17
