Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water. The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per li
stira [4]

Answer:

There are <u>20,000 milligrams</u> chlorine in the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The chlorine per liter of water in the pool is 2.5 milligrams.

The  volume of water in the swimming pool is 8000 gallons.

Now, to find the quantity of chlorine in the pool.

Let the quantity of chlorine be x.

The gallons of water in the swimming pool = 8000.

The milligrams of chlorine per liter of water in the pool = 2.5.

According to question, the amount of chlorine in the swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water.

So, 2.5 mg of chlorine is equivalent to 1 liter.

Thus, x is equivalent to 8000.

Now, to get the quantity of chlorine by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{2.5}{1} =\frac{x}{8000}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

20000=x\\\\x=20,000\ mg.

Therefore, there are 20,000 milligram chlorine in the pool.

The value, V (t), in dollars, of a stock t months after it is purchased is modeled by the following equation.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:V(t)= 42(1-e ^{1.5t} ) +36 is given value in dollars of a stock in t months after it is purchased.

a) Substitute 1 for t

V(1) = 42(1-e^{-1.5} )+36 \\=67.852\\=67.85

V(12) = V(1) = 42(1-e^{-1.5*12} )+36 \\=77.00

b) Find derivative for V

V'(t) = 42(-1.5) e^{-1.5t} )\\\\=-63e^{-1.5t}

c) When V(t) = 75

V(t)=75= 42(1-e ^{1.5t} ) +36\\1-e ^{1.5t=0.9286\\=-2.639

d) As t tends to infinity, exponent being in negative t tends to 0

So V tends to 42(1-0)+36 = 78
