The age of Sydney is 25 years old

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that Devaughn is 7 years older than Sydney

The sum of their ages is 57

Let the age of Sydney be "x"

Then according to given information,

Age of Devaughn = x + 7

Now, Sum of Sydney age and Devaughn age = 57

Substituting the values we get,

x + x + 7 = 57

2x + 7 = 57

2x = 57 - 7

2x = 50

x = 25

"x" represents age of Sydney. Hence Sydney's age is 25 years old

25.
25 + 32 = 57

If the fixed cost is 9000 per year. Variable costs are estimated to be Tk. 60.75 / item. The firm wants to break even if 80 item

Mnenie [13.5K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Tk 173.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm will break even if its cost is equal to its revenue. That is, the price of each item sold must equal the cost of producing it. To cover the fixed cost, a share of it must be added to each of the items sold. Then the break-even price for 80 items is ...

price = variable cost + share of fixed cost

price = Tk 60.75 +9000/80 = Tk 60.75 +112.50 = Tk 173.25

Matthew earned $75 in interest on

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is

I = Prt,

where I is the interest earned,

P is the initial investment amount,

r is the interest rate in decimal form, and

t is the time in years. For us,

I = 75,

P = ?

r = .05

t = 1

Filling in what we were given:

75 = P(.05)(1) and

.05P = 75 so

P = 1500

The Super Bounce brand of bouncy balls rebounds to 85% of the height from which it was dropped. Write both the explicit and recu

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Explicit formula is $h(n)=4(0.85)^{n-1}$ .

Recursive formula is $h_n=0.85h_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

In this step we first find the explicit formula for the height of the ball.To find the explicit formula we use the fact that the bounces form a geometric sequence. A geometric sequence has the general formula , $a_{n+1}=ar^{n-1}.$ In this case the first term $a_o=4$ , the common ratio $r=0.85$ since the ball bounces back to 0.85 of it's previous height.

We can write the explicit formula as,

$h(n)=4(0.85)^{n-1}.$

Step 2

In this step we find the recursive formula for the height of the ball after each bounce. Since the ball bounces to 0.85 percent of it's previous height, we know that to get the next term in the sequence, we have to multiply the previous term by the common ratio. The general fomula for a geometric sequene is $a_n=a_{n-1}\times r.$

With the parameters given in this problem, we write the general term of the sequence as ,

$h(1)=4\\h(n)=h_{n-1}\times 0.85.$
