Answer:

0.94 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Airport: 2 feet per second.

Total distance 152 ft in the same amount of time it takes him to talk 72 feet on the pavement.

152/2 = 76 - This is how many seconds he was walking in the airport.

He walked 76 seconds and moved 152 feet.

So that means if the SAME time was used so 76 seconds he walked 72 feet, then we can do 72ft/76sec to get 0.94ft/sec

A clothing store is raising the price of all its sweaters by $3.00. Write a expression that could be used to find the new prices

ehidna [41]

Y=d-3. Y is equal to the cost of the sweaters before the price was raised. D represents the price of the sweaters after the price jump. The three is how much the sweater price was raised by. Say the new price of the sweaters are $29.99 each. You would plug in 29.99 for d. y=29.99-3. The new price of the sweaters would be $26.99 (this is just a sample problem)

jasenka [17]

Answer:

p = 497 ( to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this calculation, we will apply the principle of accounting, where a certain amount is compounded periodically and yielding a future value. Compound interest is used because the percentage growth rate is added on the new amount gotten each year, and not on the first or original amount.

Hence:

FV = PV × $(1+ \frac{r}{n}) ^{n*t}$

where FV = future value = population in 2020 = 810

PV = present value = population in 2010 = p

r = percentage growth rate in decimal = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

n = growth rate period per year = once = 1

t = time in years = 2010 to 2020 = 10 years

∴ $810 = p * (1+ \frac{0.05}{1}) ^{1*10}$

$810 = p * (1.05) ^{10}\\810= p(1.6289)$ (dividing both sides by 1.6289)

p = 810 ÷ 1.6289 = 497.2 = 497 (to the nearest whole number)

∴ population in 2010 = 497
