In 1950 the number of retirees was approximately 150 per thousand people aged 20-64. In 1990 this number rose to approximately 2

00, and it is projected to rise to 275 in 2020. Model N as a piecewise linear function of the time t in years since 1950, and use your model to project the number of retires per thousand people aged 20-64 in 2003. (Round you answer to the nearest integer.)
a. 163 people per thousand
b. 279 people per thousand
c. 302 people per thousand
d. 209 people per thousand
e. 233 people per thousand

Answer: 233 people per thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Using extrapolation method,

if 150/k in 1950,

  200/k in 1990,

  275/k in 2020,

2003 lies in between 1990 and 2020. So, you extrapolate the values of 200/k and 275/k for the years respectively.

Therefore,  

(2003 - 1990)/(2020 - 2003) = (x - 200)/(275 - x)

Where x is the number of retirees per thousand for 2003

Making x the subject of relation in the above equation.

Cross multiply the equation above;

(2003 - 1990)(275-x) = (2020 - 2003)(x - 200)

13(275 - x) = 17(x-200)

3575 - 13x = 17x - 3400

Collect the like terms

3575+3400 = 17x + 13x

30x = 6975

x = 6975/30

x = 232.5

x = 233 people per thousand to the nearest integer

The corner market sells potatoes at a rate of 1/2 dollars per potato.
inn [45]

Answer:

<em>The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The potatoes are sold at a rate of $0.5 per potato.

1. Given Amanda can only spend $5 on potatoes at that price, she can buy at most $5 / 0.5 = 10 potatoes.

Amanda can buy at most 10 potatoes

2. Sam wants to buy 15 potatoes at that very same price. The cost of 15 potatoes is:

15 * $0.5 = $7.50

The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50

Kyle spend 1/5 of his money on clothing. He had 120 remaining. What was the cost of the clothes Kyle bought
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

30 is the cost of clothes Kyle bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Kyle spend 1/5 of his money on clothing.

          Remaining money is 120.

Lets assume the total money Kyle had be "x".

∴ Money spent on clothes = \frac{1}{5}\times x= \frac{x}{5}

Now, putting up value in the equation to find the total amount of money.

We know, money remaining is 120

x-\frac{x}{5} = 120

Taking LCD subtract the fraction.

⇒ \frac{(x\times 5)- x\times 1}{5} = 120

⇒ \frac{5x-x}{5} = 120

⇒\frac{4x}{5} = 120

Multiplying 5 both side

⇒4x= 120\times 5

dividing 4 on both side.

∴x= \frac{120\times 5}{4}

∴ x= 150

Kyle has total 150 money to spend.

Kyle spent \frac{1}{5} of his total money on clothing.

⇒ cost of clothes kyle bought= \frac{1}{5} \times 150= 30

Hence, Kyle spent 30, which was the cost of clothes kyle bought.

40-10 written as an algebraic Expression
sukhopar [10]
40 - 10 = x

This is because

Numeric expressions apply operations to numbers. For example, 2(3 + 8) is a numeric expression. Algebraic expressions include at least one variable and at least one operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). For example, 2(x + 8y) is an algebraic expression.
