Your answer would be a=-6.12
22 quarters= $5.50
10 dimes= $1.00
$5.50 + $1.00 = $6.50
I just did trial and error. I started with 20 quarters and made changes until it worked.
Every 56 seconds, the radioactive substance is divided in half.
224 / 56 = 4
We need to cut the substance in half 4 times.
896 / 2 = 448
448 / 2 = 224
224 / 2 = 112
112 / 2 = 56
After 224 seconds, there will be 56 grams of the radioactive substance left over
Usually a ratio will compare two numbers by division
Answer: $187 will be in the account after 6 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years
r represents the interest rate.
n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.
P represents the principal or initial amount deposited
From the information given,
P = $100
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.
t = 6 years
Therefore,.
A = 100(1 + 0.11/1)^1 × 6
A = 100(1 + 0.11)^6
A = 100(1.11)^6
A = $187
