Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.87 = 0.87 / 1
Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 2 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 2 10's
Numerator (N)
N = 0.87 × 10 × 10 = 87
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 = 100
N / D = 87 / 100
Simplifying our fraction
= 87/100
<span>= 87/100</span>
Answer:
after 10 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.
Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.
Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in
b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.
They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:
-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600
1000 = 40x+ 600
400 = 40x
10=x
They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.
What is 15 increased by 60 percent? Let's work it out!
First, you must know what 60 percent of 15 is.
<u>60 percent of 15
</u> 15 times .60
<u />equals
9.
So 60% of 15 is 9.
<u /><u>Increased</u> is a word which<u> means added</u>.
So, 15 plus 9 (15+9) is 24.
Final Answer = 24.
Hope I could help!

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Take the natural log of both sides, obtaining:
-0.20x + ln 3.80 = ln 2
2) Group the ln terms on the right side: -0.20x = ln 2 - ln 3.80
3) Find the natural logs of 2 and 3.80 and combine them: -0.408, so that we have 0.20x = 0.408.
4) Solving for x, we get 2.03, or approx 2 (Answer C)
