Answer:

It will take approximately 34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If a town population is 8000 and grows 3% annually.

How long will it take to reach 16300

growth is 16300 - 8000 = 8300

using simple interest formula

SI = (P × r × t)/100

8300 = (8000 × 3 × t)100

8300= (80 × 3)t

8300 = 240t

t = 8300/240

t ≈ 34 years to the nearest tenth

Fiona and Camilla took a load of peaches to the farmer’s market. During the first hour, they sold ½ of the peaches plus ½ of a p
Lana71 [14]
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>

<u>Check:</u>

In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51.  They had 50 left.

In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17.  They had (50-17)=33 left.

In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9.  They had (33-9) = 24 left.

In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5.  They had (24-5) = 19 left.  yay!

Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home.  Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.

================================================

The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.

-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.

-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .

-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .

Do the same for the 2nd hour.

Then do the same for the 1st hour.

And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
