Answer:

There are 28 more dogs than cats at the animal shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 3:1, that means there are 3 dogs for every 1 cat.

The way I think about it is I try multiplying every number by 3 and 1, kind of like process of elimination.

After using every number from 1-13, I finally got to 14. Now, 3 x 14 = 42 and 1 x 14 = 14. Add 42 + 14 and you will get 56.

So there are 42 dogs and 14 cats at the animal shelter.

However, it is asking for how many more dogs than cats there are, so you have to subtract 42 - 14 and the answer is 28 more dogs than cats.

bagirrra123 [75]
 $72 To find out how much the sweater is without 20% off, you need to do this formula:

$60 x 20%

The answer is $12.

So, 20% of $60 is $12.

Now, you need to add 60 and 12 together to get the original sale price.

60 + 12

The answer is 72.

So the original price for the sweater is <span>72 dollars.</span>

​Combined, there are ​Asians, Africans,​ Europeans, and Americans in a village. The number of Asians exceeds the number of Afric
yanalaym [24]

There are 123 Asians, 25 Africans, 21 Europeans and 8 Americans in the village.

To determine the number of Asians, Africans, Europeans, and Americans in the village, the following calculation must be performed:

 

  • A.S + A.F + E.U + A.M = 177
  • A.S = A.F + E.U + 69
  • E.U - A.M = 13
  • E.U = A.M + 13
  • 2A.F = E.U + A.M + 29
  • A.F + E.U + 69 + A.F + E.U + A.M = 177
  • A.F + A.M + 13 + 69 + A.F + A.M + 13 + A.M = 177
  • 2A.F + 3A.M = 177 - 13 - 13 - 69
  • E.U + A.M + 29 + 3A.M = 82
  • A.M + 13 + A.M + 29 + 3A.M = 82
  • 5A.M = 82 - 13 - 29
  • A.M = 40/5
  • A.M = 8
  • E.U = 8 + 13 = 21
  • A.F = (21 + 29) / 2 = 25
  • A.S = 177 - 25 - 21 - 8 = 123

Therefore, there are 123 Asians, 25 Africans, 21 Europeans and 8 Americans in the village.

60.April would like to invest $200 in the bank for one year. Three banks all have a nominal APR of 1.5%, but compound the intere
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

$203.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bank in question compounds interest continuously, the following equation should be used to determine the final balance (B) in April's account:

B= 200*e^{i*t}

Where "e" is a mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183, "i" is the interest rate (1.5%) and "t" is the investment time in years (1):

B= 200*e^{0.015*1}

B= 203.02

April's balance would be $203.02 after one year.
