Step-by-step explanation:
The formula used for compound interest becomes very helpful in this case.
Knowing this, we can easily calculate the value for any year, counting from the original 5000.
From this formula, we can derive a specific one that will serve for any value of <em>t</em>.
a)
b) Apply the formula:
The town will have 5464 inhabitants.
Answer:
$66
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be convenient to assign a different variable to the amount of money each spent. We can call the amounts spent by Seedevi, Georgia, and Amy "s", "g", and "a", respectively.
The problem statement tells us ...
s = (1/2)g
s = a +6
s + g + a = 258
__
The problem statement asks for the amount Seedevi spent, so we need to find the value of s. It is convenient to write the other variables in terms of s:
g = 2s
a = s -6
Then the sum is ...
s + (2s) +(s -6) = 258
4s = 264 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6, simplify
s = 66 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4
Seedevi spent $66.
The answer comes out to be X= -2
Hello,
If 1 black shoe is selected from a bin of 6 black shoes and 4 brown shoes and not replaced, then there are 5 black shoes and 4 brown shoes remaining. To find the probability that the a black shoe will be selected out of 5 black shoes and 4 brown shoes, we divide the number of black shoes over the total number of shoes (Each selection of a shoe is independent).
Doing this, we get 5 / (5+4) = 5/9 ≈ 0.55
The probability that a second shoe selected will be black is 0.55.
Hope this helps!
