Answer:

6.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to find the number of half-lives in 26.3 years, we simply divide 26.3 yrs by 5.26 yrs which yields 5 half-lives. This means that in 26.3 yrs the 200 grams of cobalt-60 will undergo 5 half-lives.

To obtain the remaining amount we simplify the expression;

A = 200*(1-0.5)^(26.3/5.26)

  = 200*(0.5)^(5)

  = 6.25 grams.

Therefore, the amount of a 200 g sample of colbalt-60 that will remain after 26.3 years is 6.25 grams

we need to translate one unit to the left.

Answer: 90 degree rotation around the origin then translation by (-1,0)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$117.33

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/8 = 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 1/8 = 9/8

She paid 9/8 what she paid the last time.

Let the amount she paid last time equal x.

$132 is 9/8 of x.

9/8 x = 132

8/9 * 9/8 x = 132 * 8/9

x = 117.33

She paid $117.33

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$120

Step-by-step explanation:

40% off means that the post reduction price is 60% of the original.

Therefore, if $45 is 60% of the original,

100% of the original price = 45 / 60 x 100 = $75

Therefore, the total cost of both = 45 + 75 = 120
