Answer:

156.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, for starters we know that the substance decays by 2% each day and its been decaying for 34 days. Therefore, the substance has decayed by 68%

34 x 2 = 68

Hence, 50 grams is 32% because the substance has already decayed by 68%

100 - 68 = 32

So now we know 50 grams is 32%. Now we need to find how much 100% is.

50 - 32%

X - 100%

We cross multiply.

50 x 100 = 5000

And divide.

5000 / 32 = 156.25

Thus, in the beginning, there were 156.25 grams in the substance.

Hope this helps! :)

A new Bruno's Bakery uses 4/9 of a barrel of raisins each day. Cosmo's Bakery uses 6/5 as much raisins as the Bruno's Bakery. Ho

navik [9.2K]

So we know that the Bruno's BAkery uses 4/9 barrels and that Cosmo's Bakery uses 6/5 as much. So we have to multiply 4/9 * 6/5 which is equal to 0.53 for one day.
Since they are asking for the 3/7 of the week we multiply 3/7 *0.53.
This is equal to 0.23 or 23/100
