Answer:

  14,146 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual multiplier is (1 -0.0049%) = 0.999951. We want to find the number of times this needs to be multiplied to make the product 1/2.

  0.5 = 0.999951^t

  log(0.5) = t·log(0.999951)

  log(0.5)/log(0.999951) = t ≈ 14,145.514

The half-life is about 14,146 years.

The Clark family must pay $2,820 in property tax on their home this year. The house payment $752 per month. What is their paymen
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It's actually easier than it seems. if the tax is paid in equal payments every month and the total throughout a year (12 months) is $2,820, you have to find out how much they pay every month
so divide the total by the number of months
2,820/12=235
they pay $235 in taxes every month
to find out the total of the taxes and the house payment, just add the monthly tax and the monthly house payment.
235+752
and your answer is the sum
