This is a growth exponential equation. 
It can be solved 2 ways, but one of them is long and cumbersome and not worth the effort. You could take 2% of the base number and keep doing it 8 times. 

The other way is to realize that 100$ + 2% of 100 dollars can be written as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02 and that can be written as
100( 1 + 0.02 ) = 100(1.02) Now if you want this to be raised 8 times, it will look like this
y = 100(1.02)^(n - 1) for any number of weeks
y(8) = 100(1.02)^7 = 114.87
So at week 1 she has 100 dollars and at week 8 she has 114.87 dollars.

Comment
Realize that if her boss does not want to give her compounded interest that she could still make
Ln = L_{8} = 100 + (n - 1)*0.02*100
L_{8} = 100 + 7*0.02*100 = 100 + 14. = 114
By compounding she makes a whole 0.87$ more.

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

You may or may not need to include the units.

A = 18x - 18

P = 6x + 6

Graph is attached below. (2, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the information we need, "l" and "w", into the formulas.

l is for length, 6cm.

w is for width, (3x - 3)cm.

Use the formula for area of a rectangle.

A = lw

A = (6)(3x-3)cm²

A = (18x - 18)cm²  or 18x - 18

Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(6 + (3x - 3))cm

P = 2(3x + 3)cm

P = (6x + 6)cm  or 6x + 6

Linear equations are written in the form y = mx + b, so we do not need to factor or further simplify the formulas.

To graph, first turn the "m" value into a fraction form.

8 -> 8/1

6 -> 6/1

You need two points to graph each line.

For each equation, the first point is on the y-axis at the "b" value. Then use the "m" in the equation to count the number of units up (numerator) and to the right (denominator).

The solution is (2,18)

Kaira's gross pay is $4,633. Her deductions total $1,009.13. What percent of hergross pay is take-home pay?Round to the nearest
Delvig [45]

Answer:

\text{ 78\%}

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the percentage of the gross pay is the take-home pay

Mathematically, we have to divide the take-home pay by the gross pay and multiply it by 100%

Her take-home pay is the difference between her gross pay and her deductions

We have this as:

\text{ 4633 - 1009.13 = \$3,623.87}

We have this as:

\frac{3623.87}{4633}\text{ }\times\text{ 100 \% = 78\%}
