First, we subtract 27.4 from 100, which gives us 72.6.  After each generation, we will have 72.6% of the last generation.  Now, we do 430 * .726^19.  This equals 1.0 grams.

We have been given an element with mass 430 grams decays by 27.4% per minute. We are asked to find the amount of element remaining after 19 minutes.

We will exponential decay formula to solve our given problem.  

An exponential decay function is in form y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time.    

27.4\%=\frac{27.4}{100}=0.274

We can see that initial value is 430, so our required function would be y=430\cdot (1-0.274)^x.

y=430\cdot (0.726)^x

To find amount of element after 19 minutes, we will substitute x=19 in our function as:

y=430\cdot (0.726)^{19}

y=430\cdot (0.002279270099677)

y=0.980086

Upon rounding to nearest tenth of gram, we will get:

y\approx 1.0

Therefore, approximately 1.0 grams of the element will be remaining after 19 minutes.

Dalia saved $3000 last year. She said $600 in the month of January. What percent of the total amount of money she saved last yea
Anni [7]
1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x% equals 600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=600
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=3000/600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 600 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/600
<span>(100/x)*x=(3000/600)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=5*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
<span>100/5=x </span>
<span>20=x </span>
<span>x=20
So 600 is 20% of 3000</span>
