For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease factor
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 y = 30 * (b) ^ t
 To calculate t we use a point in the table.
 We have:
 (t, y) = (1, 28.5)
 Substituting:
 28.5 = 30 * (b) ^ 1
 b = 28.5 / 30
 b = 0.95
 Answer:
 
a. Decay factor is 0.95

If 4/5 of the population of a certain town is
kkurt [141]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)

2,000×4

8,000

8,000/5

Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:

8,000÷5=

1,600

1,600 of the people are middle class.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

$2000 borrowed with 10% interest rate, got additional 1000 on the same rate for the same period of repayment. How much would he
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

  nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Loan payments are <em>linear in the loan amount</em> for a given rate and period, so the payments for loans of $2000 and $1000 sum to the amount of payments for a loan of $3000.

The only possible savings (or cost) might come from rounding to the nearest cent. (In any event, the final payment on each loan should make up for any differences due to rounding.)
