Answer:
m = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2m - 5 = 23
add 5 to both sides
1/2m - 5 + 5 = 23 + 5
1/2m = 28
multiply both sides by 2
1/2m(2) = 28(2)
m = 56

When you see % next to a number, you multiply it by .01.
10 becomes .1
10.5 becomes .105
220*.1=22, so this is the 10% off
220*.105=23.1, so this is the 10.5% service charge.
220-22+23.1=$221.10 for the ticket.
Answer:
It is false that, if the national economy shrank at an annual rate of 9% per year for three consecutive years then the economy shrank by 27% over the 3-year period, because this percentage does not follow a linear path, but on the contrary, it is calculated exponentially: 9% of each year is calculated on the rest that remained after discounting 9% the previous year.
Thus, if the national economy has a value of 100, after three years it will not have a value of 79, but a value of 75.35, as it arises from the following calculation:
100 x 0.91 ^ 3 = X
100 x 0.753571 = X
75.35 = X
