Answer:

Percent increase is 17.6%

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (new- original)/original *100%

                             = (10-8.5)/8.5 * 100%

                             = 1.5/8.5 * 100%

                             = 17.6470588%

Round to the nearest tenth

                                 17.6%

This is an increase since the cost went up.

If we have 25% off, we still have to pay (100%-25%) = 75%

10 *.75 = 7.50

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

There are 20 parrots at the animal sanctuary. Their population is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. There are also 24 snakes
worty [1.4K]
For the answer to the questions above,
A) Parrots are following a Geometric Progression of 15% increase.

20(1.15),  20(1.15)², 20(1.15)³,

Function  = 20(1.15)^n      Where n is at the end of year, n =1, 2, 3, ..

Snakes are increasing by 4.

28, 32, 36,....

Function =  24 + 4n          n = number of end year,      n =1, 2, 3,...

<span>B) After 10 years:              </span>
Parrot =  20(1.15)¹⁰    = 80.91115471

Snakes =  24 + 4(10) = 64

<span>C) After what time they are the same: </span>
We use trial and error:


Test:  n                             20(1.15^n)                        (24 + 4n)
          1                                    23                                   28
          2                                    26.45                              32
<span>          3                                    30.41                             36    </span>
          4                                    34.98                              40
          5                                    40.23                              44
          6                                    46.26                              48
          7                                    53.20                              52
          8                                    61.18                              56
          9                                    70.36                              60

After year 7, the Parrots increases far more.
<span>At year 7 they are roughly the same.</span>

2(x-5)=3(x+7) Show the process, please.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

(2×x) - (2×5) = (3×x) + (3×7)

2x-10 = 3x+21

2x-3x = 21+10

-x = 31

therefore, x = -31

Explain how solving 2x+16=14 different from solving 2x+16=x+14
vladimir2022 [97]
The difference between 2x+16=14 than 2x+16=x+14 is that you would have to solve x in two different ways like finding the first equation another way than to the second equation ( I think ).
