7 * 0.5 + 3 * 0.8 = 3.5 + 2.4 = 5.9
<span>5.9/10 X 100 = 59%
</span><span>59% concentration of new mixture</span>
The answer is 114.5%.
Let the original population be denoted by x.
Now, let's go through the percentage increase per year.
<u>Year 1</u>
<u>Year 2</u>
- 1.2x (1 + 25%)
- 1.2x (1.25)
- 1.5x
<u>Year 3</u>
- 1.5x (1 + 30%)
- 1.5x (1.3)
- 1.95x
<u>Year 4</u>
- 1.95x (1 + 10%)
- 1.95x (1.1)
- 2.145x
Overall increase : 214.5% - 100% = 114.5%
Hence, the overall percentage increase in these 4 years is 114.5%.
Answer: Both 14, and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, subtract 6 from both sides
-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)
-4x = -38 - 6
-4x = -44
Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides
(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4
x = -44/-4
x = 11
11 is your answer for x.
