If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as

6 people - $9.75,

24 people - $x.

Or as proportion,

\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{9.75}{x}.

Find x:

6\cdot x=9.75\cdot 24,\\ \\x=\dfrac{9.75\cdot 24}{6}=9.75\cdot 4=39.

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

Amanda Vehicle has hired Jared Frost as its new president. Terms included the company’s agreeing to pay retirement benefits of $
vampirchik [111]
The amount needed in the account when Frost retires is given by the annuity formula. Compounding is 2 times per year.
.. A = Pi/(n(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt)))
.. 17900 = P*.08/(2*(1 -(1 +.08/2)^(-2*12)))
.. 17900 = P*.04/(1 -(1.04^-24))
.. P ≈ 272,920.64

The compound interest formula can be used to find the present value required. 4015 days is 11 years (ignoring leap years), so the amount to deposit can be calculated from
.. A = P*(1 +r/n)^(nt)
.. 272,920.64 = P*(1 +.08/2)^(2*11) = P*1.04^22
.. P ≈ 115,160.33

We don't know about the company's obligation to Robert. To fulfill its obligation to Frost, it must deposit 115,160.33 today.

The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £147. What was the price before the decrease?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

£210

Step-by-step explanation:

A decrease of 30% represents 70% of the original cost.

100% represents the original cost

Divide the price by 70 to find 1% then multiply by 100 for original cost

original cost = \frac{147}{70} × 100 = 2.1 × 100 = £210
