Answer:

Dawn has 32 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let No. of pens Alice has = A
Let No. of pens Maurice has = M
Let no of pens Paul has = P
Let no. of pens Suzy has = S
Let no of pens Dawn has = D

Given :

A = 7M
P = 2/3 (A + S)
D = P + 12
S = 1/2 M

If S = 2 {Given}
M = 4 [∵ S = 1/2 M → M = 2S = 2X(2) ]
A = 28 [ ∵ A = 7M → A = 7 x 4 ]
P = 20 [∵ P = 2/3 (A+S) → P = 2/3 (28 + 2) = 2/3 (30) ]
D = 32 [ ∵ D = P + 12 → D = 20 + 12 ]

if angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles, angle 2 and angle 3 are complementary angles and the measure of angle 3 is 56 degree

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

34º

Step-by-step explanation: so basically you know a complementary angle is 2 angles that make a straight line and a vertical angle crosses which means 2 angles are congruent to each other so I drew a line that bisected the angle by drawing a line that cut through the right angle and i extended a line down from the right angle so now I have a vertical angle and a complementary so from here I labeled each angle <1 <2 <3 If I know angle 3 is 56º then I know 56 plus __ equals 90º I then subtracted 56 from 90 and I got 34 and since I am trying to figure out what angle 1 is I know that angle 1 and 2 are vertical angles therefore I know they are congruent to each other so <1 = 34º

The population of a small town is 40,740. It's population falls by 8% per year. How many years later will the population be 14,5

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

0.9101523758 ≈ 1 year

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a small town is 40,740.

Its population falls by 8% per year.

Given: Compound interest Amount (A) = P( 1 + $\frac{r}{n}$ $)^{nt}$

14,550 = 40,740(1 + $\frac{-8}{100 * 1}$ $)^{t*1}$

14,550 = (40,740 - 3259.2 $)^{t}$

14,550 = (37,480.8 $)^{t}$

t * log 37,480.8 = log 14,550

t = $\frac{ log 14,550}{log 37,480.8}$ = 0.9101523758 ≈ 1 year
