Answer: 56 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
394/7 = 56.3
56 * 7 = 392
392 + 7 = 399
399 is more than 394, therefore the answer is 56.
For this case we have:
By trigonometric property we have:

Where:

Substituting:

Clearing x we have:

Thus, the equation is: 
Answer:

Answer:
If your investment dropped 7% and then increased by 8% you will not be a percent ahead. The reason being is that the increase is a lower amount and the decrease was on a larger amount.
For example, if you have $100 invested. 100*.07=$7, 100-7=$93 remaining. 93*08= $7.44. 93+7.44=100.44 (a .44 increase from the original number). One percent increase from the original number would have $101.
