Lina wanted to buy a bag. She saw a red bag on sale at 15% discount and a blue bag at 20% discount. Both bags had the same origi

nal price before the discounts. To buy the red bag, Lina would need $2.50 more than what she had. So Lina bought the blue bag. After that, she had $2 left. (a) What was the original price of the red bag? (b) How much money did Lina have at first?

Answer:

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) Lina was having $74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of  the bags be 'x'

and,

the money Lina had be 'y'

then according to the question

Price of red bag after 15% discount = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Price of red bag after 20% discount = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

also,

0.85x = y + $2.5 ...........(1)

0.80x = y - $2  .............(2)

subtracting the equation (2) from  (1), we get

    0.85x = y + $2.5

- ( 0.80x = y - $2   )

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

      0.05x = $4.5

or

x = $90

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) on substituting the value of x in the equation (1), we get

0.85 × 90 = y + $2.5

or

76.5 = y + $2.5

or

y = $74

Hence, Lina was having $74

The initial population of a town in the year 2010 was 20 000. By 2014, the population had grown exponentially to 32 500 people.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

  P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential equation can be written using the given data:

  value = (initial value)×(growth factor in period)^(n/(period))

Here, the growth is by a factor of 32500/20000 = 1.625, and the period is 4 years. Then your exponential equation is ...

  P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)
