Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy

kakasveta [241]

The number of years value isn't given, we could use an hypothetical value, which can be substituted for the correct number of years given in your exercise in other to find the exact answer.

Using a t value of 10 years

Answer:

651558

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial population, P0= 400,000

Growth rate, r = 5%

Using the relation :

P(t) = P0 * (1 + r)^t

t = number of years = 10

P(10) = 400000 * (1 + 0.05)^10

P(10) = 400000 * (1.05)^10

P(10) = 400000 * 1.628894626777

P(10) = 651557.8507

= 651558 nearest whole number.

Recall that, the t value used is hypothetical and should be replaces with te exact value given in your question.
