17.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, round the two. umbers to the nearest the th, or the first number past the decimal. 19.28 rounds to 19.3 (round up because 8 is bigger than 5) and 1.546 rounds to 1.5 (round down because 4 is smaller than 5). Then subtract. 19.3 - 1.5 = 17.8

On a certain hot summers day, 648 people use the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.50 for children and $2.25 for adu

ehidna [41]

Answer:

252 children and 395 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a linear system of equations, where x represents the number of children and y represents the number of adults

x+y=648

1.50x+2.25y=1269

solve using substitution, so y=648-x,

then substitute this into the second equation, so you get 1.50x+2.25(648-x)=1269,

solve for x and you will get x equals the 252

then substitute this into the first equation, so you get 252+y=648

solve and you will get y=395

A townhouse in San Francisco was purchased for $80,000 in 1975. The appreciation of the building is modeled by the equation: A=8

jonny [76]

Answer:

In 1981 was the building worth double it’s value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A townhouse in San Francisco was purchased for $80,000 in 1975. The appreciation of the building is modeled by the equation : $A=80000(1.12)^t$ , where t represents time in years.

To find : In what year was the building worth double it’s value in 1975?

Solution :

The amount is $80,000.

The building worth double it’s value in 1975.

i.e. amount became A=2(80000).

Substitute in the model,

$2(80000)=80000(1.12)^t$

$(1.12)^t=\frac{2(80000)}{80000}$

$(1.12)^t=2$

Taking log both side,

$t\log (1.12)=\log 2$

$t=\frac{\log 2}{\log (1.12)}$

$t=6.11$

i.e. Approx in 6 years.

So, 1975+6=1981

Therefore, in 1981 was the building worth double it’s value.

Given

Family removes one-third of tress in June as much as they dd in July

They remove twice the number of July in august

Suppose they removed x trees in July

for June it is, $\frac{x}{3}$

for August, it is $2x$

If they removed less than 1000 tress in 3 months

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{3}+x+2x$

So, maximum number of tress removed in July is 299
