Number of cookie boxes bought by James = 5
Number of cakes bought by James = 2
Cost of each cakes = $4
Total bill paid by James = $28.50
Let us assume the cost of the each boxes of cookies = x
Then
5x + (2 * 4) = 28.50
5x + 8 = 28.50
5x = 28.50 - 8
5x = 20.50
x = 20.50/5
   = 4.10
So we can see from the above deduction that the cost of each boxes of cookies bought by James is $4.10

A town has a population of 12000 and grows at 4% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the popul
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

  11.0 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function describing the population growth can be written ...

  population = (initial population)×(1 +growth rate)^years

If t represents the number of years, we can fill in the values to get ...

  18500 = 12000×1.04^t

Dividing by 12000 gives ...

  18500/12000 = 1.04^t

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  log(18500/12000) = t×log(1.04)

  t = log(185/120)/log(1.04) ≈ 11.037 ≈ 11.0

It will be 11.0 years until the population reaches 18,500.

Staci is attending a music festival. The ticket to the festival costs $87.96. Staci plans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts from the e
ollegr [7]
Initial cash on hand : $200.00
Ticket cost : $87.96
T-shirt cost per piece: $30.00

The first thing Staci needs to do is to deduct the cost of the ticket from her money.

$200  - 87.96 = $112.04

Stacy has the extra amount of 112.04 to purchase t-shirts. Since, each t-shirt costs $30. To know the number of shirts she can buy, she must divide the difference by 30.

$112.04 / $30 = 3.73

Based from the quotient, Stacy can buy 3 t-shirts.

$30 * 3 = $90 total cost of the tshirts.

$112.04 - 90 = $22.04

After buying the ticket and 3 tshirts, Staci has an excess of $22.04 from her $200.
