This is an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be expressed mathematically in the following way:
.
Parameter a presents initial amount.
Parameter r is percentage increase.
Parameter t is time.
An equation that would describe given problem is:
t is the time in years.
I attached the graph of this function.
To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.
Answer:
9*(6+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), to do this we have to see all the factors of 54 and 63 and find the greatest factor that they have in common.
Factors of 54
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54
Factors of 63
1,3,7,9,21,63
The GCF is 9 because is the greatest factor that is common to both numbers.
Now we have to divide 54/9 and 63/9
54/9 = 6
63/9 = 7
So now we can write the product of the GCF and another sum:
9*(6+7)
<em>We can prove this by solving both expressions:</em>
<em>54+63 = 9*(6+7)</em>
<em>117 = 9*13</em>
<em>117 = 117 </em>
<em>The results are equal so we prove it is right.</em>
For quarters we have:
Where,
x: number of quarters
Clearing x we have:
For nickels we have:
Where,
y: number of nickels
Clearing y we have:
Then, the ratio of quarters to nickels is:
Simplifying we have:
Answer:
The ratio of quarters to nickels in a dollar is:
