Let's move like a crab, backwards some.
after 2 years?
after 3 years?
is that enough to pay the $1100?
now, let's write 1000(1+r)² in standard form
1000( 1² + 2r + r²)
1000(1 + 2r + r²)
1000 + 2000r + 1000r²
1000r² + 2000r + 1000 <---- standard form.
If it takes 4 people to get a job done in 20 hours, then in 10 hours, it will take 2 people to complete the same job.
To find out how many people are needed to do this job in 10 hours, we can see that we got to 10 hours by dividing 20 by two so, to see how many people are needed to complete this same job in ten hours, we would just divide 4 people by 2 which is 2 people.
So, in conclusion, if it takes a certain job to be done in 20 hours by 4 people, then it would take 10 hours for that same job to be completed by 2 people.
Glad I could help!
Answer:
60 books
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of books Willy has be x , then
Tammy has 4x books
Willy has 180 fewer books , that is Tammy has 180 more than Willy , so
4x = x + 180 ( subtract x from both sides )
3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 60
Thus
Willy has 60 books andTammy has 4 × 60 = 240 books
which is 180 more than Willy
