For this we will use equation:
H = starting height + rate_of_growth*periods
We can mark H with index w to represent how many weeks have passed.
Because all of this we can write:
Hw = 200 + 0.5*w
To calculate height after some number of weeks all you need to do is to exchange w with number of weeks.
i believe it is 2 i took the test but it was a while ago sorry if it’s wrong!
A= about 75 cents -- This is because you would figure out what 5% is equal to (.05). Then, you would do .05 x 14.90 to get the amount of sales tax you will be paying. By doing this you will get .745 which is approximately .75 which would become 75 cents
b= $15.65 -- For this one, you would do the cents (.75) plus the total (14.90) So you would do 14.90+.75 which = 15.65.
Hope this helped :)
<u><em /></u>Subtracting a negative number really means to add it
Here's addition:
(1) + (1) = 2
(1) + (-1) = 0
(-1) + (-1) = -2
(-1) + (1) = 0
Here's subtraction:
(1) - (1) = (1) + (-1) =0
(1) - (-1) = (1) + (1) = 2
(-1) - (-1) = (-1) + (1) = 0
(-1) - (1) = (-1) + (-1) = -2
Here's your problem specifically:
(5/10) - (-8/10)
(5/10) + (8/10)
*since they have the same denominator, that stays the same, and you only have to add up numerators
(5 + 8)/10
13/10
<u><em>answer is 13/10 . . . it's positive</em></u>
