Answer:

a. $45.86

b. $43.87

c. Percentage change = -4.40%)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let the price of share at the beginning of first year be represented with X

Now, Price of company's share dropped by 3.50% at the end of first year.

So, Price of share at the end of first year = x - 3.5% of x

= x - 0.035x

= 1x - 0.035x

= 0.965x

But it is equal to $44.25

=> 0.965x = 44.25

x = 44.25 / 0.965  

x = 45.8549223

x = $45.86

b. During second year price of share decreased by $1.99. Therefore, Price of share at the end of second year = $45.86 - $1.99  = $43.87

c. Percentage change in the price of shares over two years = {(45.86 - 43.87)/45.86} *100

= (1.99/45.86)*100

= 0.04339294 * 100

= 4.40%

Now, as price of shares has dropped, the percentage change will be negative. (Δ% = -4.40%)

A number, n, is multiplied by - 5/8. The products is - 0.40 What is the value of n? It would also help if you would explain how
Kay [80]
I'm not sure if those numbers are negatives or thats just a hyphen but:

N(-5/8)=-0.40

Division is always the opposite of multiplication

-0.40/(-5/8)=0.64

N=0.64

Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law
NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

<em>Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5

Change in x coordinate = x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, <em>it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.</em>

So, "option 1)  It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

<u>Rate of mowing</u> lawn is the <em>land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour</em>.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = \frac{1}{2} acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here y_2 - y_1 = 1

x_2 - x_1 = 2

As per formula:

m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.
