Answer:

$7 ; $4 ; $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1 player loses and 2 wins

Loser pays each winner amount each winner already has

3 rounds was played

At the end, each player has lost 1 round each and has $8.00

Since each player lost 1 round each, then each player won twice.

Given that the players are A, B and C

Starting from the last round :

Recall; they all have $8 after the last round.

If A lost the last round and pays B and C the amount they already have.

B and C finally have $8, Hence amount A paid B and C = 8/2 = $4 each

Hence, at the end of 2nd round / before last round :

A has ($8 paid + $8 final) = $16

B and C each have $4

End of first round before 2nd round of game:

If B lost, and pays A and C the amount they already have ;

A finally has 16 hence, amount B pays A = 16/2 = $8

Amount B pays C = 4/2 = $2

A = $8

B = $4 + $(8 + 2) = $14

C = $2

Ist round

C will lose :

Amount C pays B = $14 / 2 = $7

Amount C pays A = $8 /2 = $4

Hence, amount C has before round 1:

$7 + $4 + $2 = $13

Hence; Before the game ;

Either of the three players have ;

$7 ; $4 and $13

natita [175]

Answer:

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population:

The population, in x years after 2000, is given by the follwing equation:

y - 4.55x = 581

That is:

y(x) = 4.55x + 581

What is projected population in 2026?

2026 - 2000 = 26, so this is y(26).

y(26) = 4.55(26) + 581 = 699.3

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.
