Answer:

Part 1. 0.9259 % per year

Part 2. P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t); 338.6 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

P₀ = 281.4 million

P  = 308.7 million

Part 1. Growth rate

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 yr

        P = P₀e^(rt)

308.7 = 281.4e^(10r)

e^(10r) = 1.0970

     10r = ln1.0970

        r = (ln1.0970)/10 = (0.092 59)/10 = 0.009 259  

        r = 0.9259 % per year

The 10-year continuous growth rate is 0.9259 % per year.

Part 2. Population model

The population model is

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t)

where P is in millions and t is the number of years since 2000.

By 2020,

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259 × 20) = 281.4e^0.1852 = 281.4 × 1.203

P = 338.6 million

The estimated population in 2020 is 338.6 million.

McKenzie makes and sells quilts at an art fair. The materials for each quilt cos t$30.50. She sells the quilts for $80. If "n" r
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total profits = 49.50n

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each quilt = $30.50

Selling price of each quilt = $80

Profits = selling price - cost price

= $80 - $30.50

= $49.50

Profits = $49.50

If n = number of quilts she sells

which expression could be used to represent her total profits?

Total profits = profits of each quilt × number of quilt sold

= $49.50 × n

= 49.50n

Total profits = 49.50n
