Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) if the population at the beginning of the year 2000 was 7500 people,

The 1-year percent change in the city's population would be

3.6/100 × 7500 = 270

b) The population after 1 year is

7500 - 270 = 7230

The percentage of the previous value of the population to its new value for each year is

7230/7500 × 100 = 96.4%

c) the 1-year growth factor for the population of the city would be

(1 - 0.036)^1 = 0.964

d) the function, g that determines the population of the city (in thousands of people) in terms of the number of years t since the beginning of 2000 would be

g = 7500(1 - 0.036)^t

g = 7500(0.964)^t

Suppose the movie theater you work at sells popcorn I'm three different sizes. A small cost $2, a medium cost $5, and a large co
VMariaS [17]

Let, number of small, medium and large popcorn sold are s, m and l respectively.

So, s + m + l = 250    ....1)

Also, l = 2s     ....2)

Total sum = $1726 = 2s + 5m + 10l     .....3)

Putting value of l from 2) to 1) is :

s + m + 2s = 250

m + 3s = 250    

m = 250 - 3s      ....4)

Putting value of m and l in terms of s in equation 3)

We get :

2s + 5( 250 - 3s ) + 20s = 1726

7s = 1726 - 1250

s = 68

l = 136

m = 250 -3(68) = 46

Now,

P_s=68\times 2 = \$136\\\\P_m = 46\times 5 = \$230\\\\P_l = 136\times 10 = \$1360

Hence, this is the required solution.

3. What is the value of the expression 5x -2 when = 3/4
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay attention to the procedure:

(5(10)^2)^3/(10(5))^4. What we need is plug in the corresponding x and y values Then you have to do x squared before you multiply it by 5 like this: (5(100))^3/(10(5))^4 Now solve for what is in the top parenthesis. (500)^3/(10(5))^4 500^3=125000000 Now work on the denominator. Do what is inside the parenthesis first 10*5=50 Now (50)^4=6250000 Now divide the numerator and the denominator. 125000000/6250000 Which equals 20, Please check if I'm wrong but I think this is what you need

Identify two methods a person can use to pay their bills online. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.
jek_recluse [69]
1) You can pay your bills online using your debit, credit card, or an electronic check. Advantage: you pay when you want and when you are sure you have money in the bank. Disadvantage: you have to remember to pay the bills by the due date.

2) You can set up automatic withdrawal from your bank account to pay your bills. Advantage: once you set it up, you do not have to remember to pay the monthly bills. Disadvantage: if you do not check your checking account balance to be sure there is enough money to cover the bills, your account may go negative.

Hope this helps! :)
