Answer:

243 trees were saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recycling one metric ton (1000 kg) of corrugated cardboard will save number of trees = 17

Warehouse recycled 14327 kg of cardboard last year. So we have to find the number of trees saved.

To find the number of trees we will use the unitary method.

∵ Recycling 1000 kg of cardboard number of trees saved = 17

∴ Recycling 1 kg cardboard number of trees saved = \frac{17}{1000}

∴ 14327 kg cardboard will save the number of trees = \frac{17}{1000}\times 14327

= 243.559

≈ 243 trees

Therefore, 243 trees were saved.

1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees

Alekssandra [29.7K]
This is an exponential growth/decay problem.  It has a formula, and it doesn't matter which you have...the formula is the same for both, except for the fact that you're rate is decreasing instead of increasing so you will use a negative rate. The formula is this: A = Pe^rt, where A is the ending amount, P is the beginning amount, e is euler's number, r is the rate at which something is growing or dying, and t is the time in years. Our particular formula will look like this: A = 2280e^(-.30*3), Notice we have a negative number in for the rate (and of course it's expressed as a decimal!). First simplify the exponents: -.30*3 = -.9. On your calculator you have a 2nd button and a LN button.  When you hit 2nd-->LN you have "e^( " on your display.  Enter in -.9 and hit enter.  That should give you a display of .4065695.  Now multiply that by 2280 to get 926.98, the value of the computer after it depreciates for 3 years at a rate of 30% per year.
