Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks
Part A:
Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4
The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16
The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12
For the perimeters to be the same
4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2
The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.
Part B:
The area of the square is given by

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8
For the areas to be the same

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

The probability of Joey being first is 1/12. If that happens the probability of Chloe going next is 1/11. Then the probability of zoe being picked next would be 1/10. Then if you multiply all the fractions I gave you you would get 1/1320 which is A. So A. Is your answer!! Hope this helps you out!!
