Subtract the sale price from the original price then divide the difference by the original price.

Guitar 1: 160 -100 = 60

60/160 = 0.375 x 100 = 37.5%

Guitar 2: 250 - 150 = 100

100/250 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%

The answer is the second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 40%

You deposit $2000 in an account earning 3% interest compounded monthly. How much will you have in the account in 5 years

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$2,323.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, we will change 3% into its decimal form:

3% -> $\frac{3}{100}$ -> 0.03

Now, plug the values into the equation:

$A=2,000(1+\frac{0.03}{12})^{12(5)}$

$A=2,323.23$

After 5 years, you will have $2,323.23

Answer:

The equations are:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$Hotdog = 2.50$

$Pretzel = 1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$H = hot\ dog$

$P =Pretzel$

For Tina:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

For Doug:

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

Solving for the price of both items:

We have:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$ --- (1)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$ --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2 * ( $2H + 5P = 11.25$ )

-------------------

$4H + 10P = 22.50$ --- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$4H + 10P = 22.50$

----------------------

$4H - 4H + 3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$-7P = -8.75$

Solve for P

$P = \frac{-8.75}{-7}$

$P = 1.25$

Substitute 1.25 for P in (2)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$2H + 5 * 1.25 = 11.25$

$2H + 6.25 = 11.25$

Collect Like Terms

$2H = 11.25-6.25$

$2H = 5$

Solve for H

$H = \frac{5}{2}$

$H = 2.50$

There are 3 High Schools and 14 Elementary Schools in the district. If this is proportional to the whole state and there are 96

Katen [24]

Proportion = 3:14 = 1:4.6666666667 (divide each number by 3)

1x96 = 96
4.6666666667x96 = 448

96:448

448 Elementary Schools
