The answer should be 686.40
<u>Answer</u>
6,122 hm
<u>Explanation</u>
You can carry out operations on the like terms only. So convert all units to one unit.
I will convert them to dam
1 km =100 dam
73 km = 73 × 100
=7,300 dam
11 km = 11× 100
1100 dam
1 hm = 10 dam
47 hm = 47 × 10
= 470 dam
55 hm = 55× 10
= 550 dam
73km 47hm 2dam - 11km 55hm = (7300+ 470+2) - (1100+550)
= 7,772 - 1,650
= 6,122 hm
The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.
where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form
t = number of years
In this case,
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years
We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70
Answer: 308.70 dollars
