Answer:

It will take approximately 9.3 weeks for Kevin to lose the

Step-by-step explanation:

current weight  of Dog = 78 pounds

Required weight to be shed off = 14 pounds

weight lost in 1 week = 1.5 pounds

Let the number of weeks required to lose 14 pounds be w.

Assuming that the rate of weight loss per week is constant

(weight lost in 1 week) × (number of weeks) = 14 pounds

1.5 × w = 14

w = 14 ÷ 1.5 = 9.3 weeks

Therefore it will take approximately 9.3 weeks for Kevin to lose the weight

Answer:

a = 9.6 b = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 8 is .8

8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8

8.8 + .8 = 9.6

She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6

When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6

For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2

8+3.2 = 11.2

She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.

Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.

In 1981, the Australian humpback whale population was 350 and has increased at a rate of 14% each year since then.)
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

In 1981, the Australian humpback whale population was 350

Po = Initial population = 350

rate of increase = 14% annually

P(t) = Po*(1.14)^t

P(t) = 350*(1.14)^t

Where

t = number of years that have passed since 1981

Year 2000

2000 - 1981 = 19 years

P(19) = 350*(1.14)^19

P(19) = 350*12.055

P(19) = 4219.49

P(19) ≈ 4219

Year 2018

2018 - 1981 = 37 years

P(37) = 350*(1.14)^37

P(37) = 350*127.4909

P(37) = 44621.84

P(37) ≈ 44622

There would be about  44622  humpback whales in the year 2018
