Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + x = 14/15

we need to get a common denominator 15

3/5 * 3/3 = 9/15

9/15 + x = 14/15

subtract 9/15 from each side

9/15 - 9/15 + x = 14/15 - 9/15

x = 5/15

this simplifies divide the top and bottom by 5

x = 1/3

If your starting salary were $50,000 and you received a 4% increase at the end of every year for 15 years, what would be the tot

ycow [4]

Answer-

The total amount you would have earned over the first 16 years is $90047.20

Solution-

The exponential function that would given the growth is,

$P'=P(1+r)^t$

Where,

P' = Future value,

P = Current value = $50000

r = rate of change = 4% = 0.04

t = time = 15 year (not 16 because the the increment occurs at year end and we want to get the value at the beginning of 16th year)

Putting the values,

$P'=50000(1+0.04)^{15}$

$=50000(1.04)^{15}$

$=90047.20$

Therefore, the total amount you would have earned over the first 16 years is $90047.20

likoan [24]

Answer:

$\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mrs. Backstrom built a small wooden box for her cat. The box has a length of one and one tenth feet, a width of 1.6 feet, and a height of 2 feet. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

Let us convert one and one tenth feet into decimal.

$1\frac{1}{10}=\frac{11}{10}=1.1$

Since the cat box is in form of cuboid, so its volume will be equal to the product of length, width and height as:

$\text{Volume of cat box}=1.10\text{ ft}\times 1.6\text{ ft}\times 2\text{ ft}$

$\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the cat box is 3.53 cubic feet.
