This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
Answer:
x = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
The given angles are supplementary and their sum is 180 degrees
5x - 16 + x + 10 = 180 add like terms
6x - 6 = 180 add 6 to both sides
6x = 186 divide both sides by 6
x = 31
Answer:
He can purchase a maximum of 6 large candles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If he purchases 6 large candles and 14 small candles:
$5.00 x 6 = $30.00
$3.50 x 14 = $49.00
$49.00 + $30.00 = $79.00
