<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

A. Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

B. Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

C. Increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have number of employees in a company has been growing exponentially by 10% each year. So , If we have population as x in year 2019 , an increase of 10% in population in 2020 as $x + \frac{x}{100}\times10$ which is equivalent to $\frac{11x}{10}$ .

For each month: We have 12 months in a year and so, distributing 10% in 12 months would be like $\frac{10}{12} = 0.84$ . ∴ Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

In every 3 months: We have , 12 months in a year , in order to check for every 3 months $\frac{12}{3} = 4$ and Now, Population increase in every 3 months is $\frac{10}{4} = 2.5$ . ∴ Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

<u>C.</u>

In every 20 months: We have , 12 months in a year in which increase in population is 10% . Left number of moths for which we have to calculate factor of increase in population is 20-12 = 8. For 1 month , there is 0.84% increase in population ∴ For 8 months , 8 × 0.84 = 6.72 %.

So , increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.

How do you turn 12/15 and 68/80 into a decimal and into a percent

Allisa [31]

$\frac{12}{15}\\\\divide\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 3\\\\12:3=4;\ 15:3=5\\\\therefore\ \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}\\\\multiply\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 2\\\\4\cdot\ 2=8;\ 5\cdot2=10\\\\therefore\ \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}=\frac{8}{10}=\boxed{0.8}\Rightarrow0.8\cdot100\%=\boxed{80\%}$

$\frac{68}{80}\\\\divide\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 4\\\\68:4=17;\ 80:4=20\\\\therefore\ \frac{68}{80}=\frac{17}{20}\\\\multiply\ a\ numerator\ and\ a\ denominator\ by\ 5\\\\17\cdot\ 5=85;\ 20\cdot5=100\\\\therefore\ \frac{68}{80}=\frac{17}{20}=\frac{85}{100}=\boxed{0.85}\Rightarrow0.85\cdot100\%=\boxed{85\%}$
