Describe 59 in two ways

At a school fair 70% of the people are under 16 years old. One third of the people remaining are teachers. If there are 21 teach

Tamiku [17]

In the fairest school 70% are below 16 years old 1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21 Let’s start solving: => 1/3 of 100% => 100 / 3 = 33.33% thus 33.33% = 21 => 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school. Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old Have you notice that you are asking for a 70% of students but there are already 33.33% of teacher. Thus your given problem is not right already. => 100% - 33.33% = 66.67% that’s the only remaining percentage and not 70% => 63 * .6667 = 42.0021 Thus, there are around 42 people who are 16 years old younger.

Find the smallest positive integer solution to the following system of congruences: x = 0 (mod 5) x = 8 (mod 11) The solution is

igomit [66]

Answer:

The smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of congruences is

$x=0(mod5)$

$x=8(mod11)$

where, m and n are positive integers.

It means, if the number divided by 5, then remainder is 0 and if the same number is divided by 11, then the remainder is 8. It can be defined as

$x=5m$

$x=11n+8$

$5m\cong 11n+8$

Now, we can say that m>n because m and n are positive integers.

For n=1,

$5m=11(1)+8=19$

$5m=19$

19 is not divisible by 5 so m is not an integer for n=1.

For n=2,

$5m=11(2)+8$

$5m=30$

$m=6$

The value of m is 6 and the value of n is 2. So the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is

$x=5(6)=30$

Therefore the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.

Ms. Whodunit needs $15 000 to go on her dream vacation in four years. How much

lisov135 [29]

For each situation, we have that:

11) Using compound interest, it is found that she needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

12) Using the future value formula, it is found that you will have $728,753 after 48 years.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

$A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

In which:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.

P is the principal(the initial sum of money).

r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).

n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

A(t) = 15000, t = 4, r = 0.055, n = 2.

Hence we solve for P to find the amount that needs to be invested.

$A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

$15000 = P\left(1 + \frac{0.055}{2}\right)^{2 \times 8}$

$(1.0275)^{16}P = 15000$

$P = \frac{15000}{(1.0275)^{16}}$

P = $9,718.11.

She needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

<h3>What is the future value formula?</h3>

It is given by:

$V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]$

In which:

P is the payment.

n is the number of payments.

r is the interest rate.

For item 12, the parameters are given as follows:

P = 150, r = 0.07/12 = 0.005833, n = 48 x 12 = 576.

Hence the amount will be given by:

$V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]$

$V(n) = 150\left[\frac{(1.005833)^{575}}{0.005833}\right]$

V(n) = $728,753.

You will have $728,753 after 48 years.
