Answer 7 and 8 and give the example please
1 answer:
7. For this one, we need an equation. Lets make x = the price of the computer. Since the price of the printer is 30% the price of the computer, we can make that .3x, because a number multiplied by .3 will give you 30% of your original number. So, our equation will be:
Since x is the cost of the computer, you have your answer right there. The computer costs $2,028.
8. For this one we're going to need a proportion, but first we need to find out how much of the percentage of seeds Cliff planted.
% of seeds planted per person:
Ali - 40
Ben - 45
Cliff - x
All percentages add up to 100, so we'll make an equation to figure this out:
Therefore, Cliff planted 15% of the seeds. Since Cliff planted 15% of the seeds, and he planted 87 total, 15% of our total number of seeds planted is 87. We can now make a proportion to figure out how many seedlings were planted all together.
We can now cross multiply in order to get a solvable equation:
The total number of seedlings planted was 580.
Sorry if this is confusing at all, hope I helped!

Since represents the number of years passed since 2005, in 2005 we have
, and in 2015 we have
. Let
represent the profits of Jones and Davis, respectively, at year y.
We have
Choosing the best company somehow depends on how much time you can wait: Jones start with a higher value (10 vs 8), but it has a descending trend, because the multiplicative factor goes to zero as t grows.
On the other hand, Davis starts with a smaller value, but tends to infinity as t grows.
So, if you need an immediate result, the most valuable company is Jones, otherwise you're certain can Davis will eventually become bigger.
More precisely, we have
So, after 11 years, Davis will overcome Jones.
