Year GDP
y (billion $)
1985 577
1986 577+ 3.2% of 577 = 577 * 1.032
1987 577* 1.032 + 3.2% of 577 * 1.032 = 577 * (1.032)^2
1988 577 * (1.032)^3
1989 577 * (1.032)^4
.... .... => model GDP = 577 * (1.032)^ (y - 1985)
Then, for GDP = $3.4 trillion = $3400 billion =>
3400 = 577 (1.032)^ (y - 1985)
Divide both sides by 577:
(1.032)^ (y - 1985) = 3400 / 577 = 5.892548
Apply logarith to both sides:
(y - 1985) log (1.032) = log 5.892548
=> y - 1985 = log (5.892548) / log(1.032) = 56.3 years
=> y = 1985 + 56.3 = 2041.3
Answer: 2041
Answer: it will take 5 months for both gyms to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months for which the total cost of gyms are the same.
Gym A charges a new member fee of $65 and $20 per month. This means that the cost of using gym A for x months would be
20x + 65
Gym B charges a new member fee of $25 and $35 per month but you get a discount of 20% monthly.
20% of 35 is 20/100 × 35 = 7
The monthly charge would be
35 - 7 = 28
This means that the cost of using gym A for x months would be
28x + 25
The number of months that it will take for the cost of both gyms to be the same would be
20x + 65 = 28x + 25
28x - 20x = 65 - 25
8x = 40
x = 40/8 = 5
Answer:
5^12
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply both roots
<span>d=drinks
p=pretzels
1st eq. 3d+3p=9.00
2nd eq. 4d+2p=8.50</span>
multiply
1st eq by 2
6d+6p=18.00
<span>multiply
2nd eq by 3
12d+6p=25.50
subtract
-6d=-7.50
d=1.25
3p=9.00-3d</span>
3p=9-3.75
<span>3p=5.25
p=1.75
price a pretzel=$1.75</span>
