Answer:

x ≈ 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given amount = A = 500 mg

Decay rate = r = 10% per year

Remaining amount = L = 295.25 mg

The formula to calculate remaining amount after x years decay =

L = A((100-r)/100)^x

By putting values in this formula, we get

295.25 = 500 ((100-10)/10)^x

295.25 = 500 (0.90)^x    

295.25/500 = 0.90^x

0.5905 = 0.90^x

0.90^x =0.5905

taking log on both sides

ln(0.90^x) =ln(0.5905)

x*ln(0.90) =ln(0.5905)  using property of log

x = ln(0.5905)/ln(0.90)

x = 4.9984

x ≈ 5 years

A student government organization is selling Christmas trees as a fundraiser. On Friday, they sold 5 noble fir trees and 3 dougl
Lana71 [14]

5 noble fir and 3 douglas fir = $ 420

12 noble fir and 9 douglas fir = $ 1080

Let noble fir be n,  and douglas fir be d.

5n + 3d = 420               ..............(i)

12n + 9d = 1080           ...............(ii)

Multiply equation (i)  by 3.

3*(5n + 3d) = 3*(420)

15n + 9d = 1260        .............(iii)

Equation (ii)  minus (iii)

(12n + 9d) - (15n + 9d) =  1080 - 1260

12n - 15n  + 9d - 9d = -180

-3n = -180

n = -180/-3 = 60

Substitute the value of n in (i)    5n + 3d = 420 

5*(60) + 3d = 420

300 + 3d  = 420
 
3d =  420 - 300 = 120

3d = 120

d = 120/3 = 40

Therefore Noble fir tree cost $60 while Douglas fir tree cost $40
