Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned by gardener for each day worked = $60

Amount paid by gardener for each day when absent = $15

Total number of days = 20

Let the total number of days when the gardener was working = x

Then he was absent for (20 - x) days.

Total amount earned during this period = $750

Then, \[60x - 15(20-x) = 750\]


=> \[60x + 15x - 300 = 750\]

=> \[75x = 1050\]

=> x = 14

So the gardener worked for 14 days out of 20.

adam put $100 in a savings account after 10 years he had $1649 in the account what rate of interest did he earn? use the formula
Nady [450]
Using the formula
ending amount is 1649=a
p=initial amount=100
t=10
r=r

so
1649=100e^{10r}
divide both sides by 100
16.49=e^{10r}
take ln of both sides
ln(16.49)=10r
divide both sides by 10
(ln(16.49))/10=r
use calculator
0.28027=r
about 28% interest

Diana is painting statues. She has \dfrac{7}{8} 8 7 ​ start fraction, 7, divided by, 8, end fraction of a liter of paint remaini
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Number of statues that can be painted are 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially Diana has \frac{7}{8} liters of paint remaining.

Every statue requires \frac{1}{20} liters of paint for painting.

We have to find how many statues we will be able to paint with this remaining paint.

To get the number of statues,

Number of statues = \frac{Paint remaining}{Paint required for 1 statue}

number of statues = \frac{\frac{7}{8} }{\frac{1}{20} }

                               = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5

Since the number of statues is not an integer the maximum number of statues that can be painted are 17.
