Answer:

t= 24.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here A(t) is the amount of the element that remains after some time. So they tell us that find the time it takes to basically have 4 grams remaining so A(t) = 4

4 = 10 * 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

0.4= 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

t= 24.75 days

Answer should make sense because half life is around 18 days which means to go from 10 g to 5g would be somewhere around 18 days but we are going to 4 g so it takes more days

Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work. He
Sidana [21]

Answer:

$21.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.

He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers

Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.

Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25

= $26

He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.

Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10

= $52.5

Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:

Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)

= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)

= $100 - $78.50

= $21.50
