Answer: after 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the car after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial value of the car.

r represents rate at which the value is decreasing.

From the information given,

P = 3000

A = < 10000

r = 16% = 16/100 = 0.16

Therefore

10000 = 30000(1 - 0.16)^ t

1000/30000 = (0.84)^t

0.333 = (0.84)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.333 = log0.84^t = tlog0.84

- 0.4772 = t × - 0.0757

t = - 0.4772/ - 0.0757 = 6.3 years

Nola was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening she picked up the cash box and noticed a dollar lyi
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The $1 belongs to the cash box

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine if the $1 belongs to the cash box or not

Represent singles with s and couples with c.

From the attachment, we have:

s + c = 47 --- total attendance

5s + 4c =200 --- ticket sold

Solve for s and c.

Make s the subject in (1)

s = 47-c

Substitute 47 - c for s in (2)

5(47 - c) + 4c = 200

Open bracket

235 - 5c + 4c = 200

235 - c = 200

c = 235 - 200

c = 35

This means that the total individual which makes up the couples are 35. This is not possible because couples are in 2's and the total should be an even number.

<em>So, we can conclude that the $1 belongs to the cash box</em>
