8 percent (C)

To find 1% you divide 4.50 by 100, which is 0.045.

Then you have to find what is added on.
4.86-4.50 is .36

Now you divide .36 by 0.045. An easier way to do this is 360 divided by 45. This equals 8.

Hope this helped

A high rise apartment building has 15 floors with 26 apartments on each floor.There are 3 kinds of apartments in the building: 1
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of floor in a building = 15

The number of apartment on each floor = 26

So, The total number of apartment = 26 × 15 = 390

The number of kinds of apartment in the building is 3 ,  i.e 1-bedroom ,               2-bedroom , 3-bedroom

Let The number of each kind of apartment in building = x

So, According to question

The number of each kind of building = \dfrac{\textrm Total number of apartment }{number of kinds of apartment}

or, x = \frac{390}{3}

∴   x = 130

Hence The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130  . Answer

love history [14]

Answer:

3. i think 15.5

4. 140*

Step-by-step explanation:

in number 4, d is a vertical angle to the angle measured at 140.

in number 3, QV=SV, so 17=4x-1     18=4x    18/4=x   x=4.5

and TS=TQ, so 3(x) + 2 = 3(4.5) + 2 = 13.5 + 2 = 15.5 =TQ

A population of bees is decreasing. The population in a particular region this year is 1,250. After 1 year, it is estimated tha
8_murik_8 [283]
To model this situation, we are going to use the decay formula: A=Pe^{rt}
where 
A is the final pupolation
P is the initial population 
e is the Euler's constant
r is the decay rate 
t is the time in years

A. We know for our problem that the initial population is 1,250, so P=1250; we also know that after a year the population is 1000, so A=1000 and t=1. Lets replace those values in our formula to find r:
A=Pe^{rt}
1000=1250e^{r}
e^{r}= \frac{1000}{1250}
e^{r}= \frac{4}{5}
ln(e^{r})=ln( \frac{4}{5} )
r=ln( \frac{4}{5} )
r=-02231

Now that we have r, we can write a function to model this scenario:
A(t)=1250e^{-0.2231t}.

B. Here we are going to use a graphing utility to graph the function we derived in the previous point. Please check the attached image.

C. 
- The function is decreasing
- The function doe snot have a x-intercept 
- The function has a y-intercept at (0,1250)
- Since the function is decaying, it will have a maximum at t=0: 
A(0)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(0)
A_{0}=1250e^{0}
A_{0}=1250
- Over the interval [0,10], the function will have a minimum at t=10:
A(10)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(10)
A_{10}=134.28

D. To find the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10], we are going to use the formula: m= \frac{A(0)-A(10)}{10-0}
where 
m is the rate of change 
A(10) is the function evaluated at 10
A(0) is the function evaluated at 0
We know from previous calculations that A(10)=134.28 and A(0)=1250, so lets replace those values in our formula to find m:
m= \frac{134.28-1250}{10-0}
m= \frac{-1115.72}{10}
m=-111.572
We can conclude that the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10] is -111.572.

Answer:

  • Cost of fish = Php. 60, amount of fish = x kg
  • Cost of chicken = Php. 120, amount of chicken = y kg
  • Budget = at most Php. 1200

a) <u>Required inequality (not a system as only one condition is given):</u>

  • 60x + 120y ≤ 1200

<u>Simplified:</u>

  • x + 2y ≤ 20
  • <em>The graph is attached</em>

b) <u>Verify ordered pair (10, 7):</u>

  • 10 + 2*7 ≤ 20
  • 24 ≤ 20

False inequality, so this pair is out of solution set
