Let x be the total number of person in the police force
24/100 × x = 72
x = 72/0.24
Therefore x = 300

The # of males = 300 - 72 = 228

<span>Let x be the total of people on the police force 24x=72 Divide both sides by 24 x=300 since there is 300 people on the force and 72 are ladies. We subtract 300-72= 228 So there is 228 male police officers :)

A population of rabbits on a farm grows by 12% each year. Assume that this increase occurs as new baby rabbits at the beginning
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a) r₁₂ = 104.36

In general, rₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

b)

- rabbit food consumed during the 10th year is approximately 832 pounds

- rabbit food consumed in total for the 1st through 10th years is approximately 5265 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

r1 = 30 and a farm grows by 12%

a = 30 and the common ratio r = 1.12

now

n           r

1        30.00

2       33.60

3       37.63

4       42.15

5       47.21

6       52.87

7       59.21

8       66.32

9       74.28

10      83.19

11       93.18

12      104.36

Therefore r₁₂ = 104.36

In general, rₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

b)

if each rabbit consume 10 lbs of rabbit food each year

n           r                food consumed(lbs)

1        30.00               300

2       33.60               336

3       37.63                376

4       42.15                422

5       47.21                472

6       52.87               529

7       59.21                592

8       66.32               663

9       74.28               743

10      83.19                832

total                          5265

Therefore, the rabbit food consumed during the 10th year is approximately 832 pounds

And the rabbit food consumed in total for the 1st through 10th years is approximately 5265 pounds

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

13,600 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

So if Linda has 20 credit hours in total, and you multiply that by 650 dollars, that will equal 13,000 dollars.  If you add 600 (which is the cost of the textbooks for both semesters) to that it will equal 13,600
