Answer:

13.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the population each year is 5% less than 1, so is 0.95. Then the population in t years is multiplied by 0.95^t. We want to find t such that this value is 1/2.

0.50 = 0.95^t

log(0.50) = t·log(0.95)

log(0.50)/log(0.95) = t ≈ 13.5134 ≈ 13.5

The population will decline to half its original value in approximately 13.5 years.

David received $50 dollars for working at his father’s store. He spent $20 dollars at the movies, and $10 dollars buying comic b
statuscvo [17]
Total amount of money received by David for working at his father's store = $50
Amount of money spent by David at the movies = $20
Amount of money spent by David buying comics books = $10
Amount of money spent by David buying candy = $5
Then
Total amount spent by David = (20 + 10 + 5) dollars
                                               = 35 dollars
Amount of money saved by David = (50 - 35 ) dollars
                                                       = 15 dollars
So
The ratio of the amount of money David
spent to the amount of money David saved = 35:15
                                                                      = 7:3
So the ratio of the amount of money David spent to the amount of money David saved is 7:3
