Answer:

It's either

143 or 6620

Step-by-step explanation:

[x will represent days] [7 people were caught with the virus] [Lets use 0.15 as 15%]

So, in order to find x, you need to create an equation.

7x + 0.15 = 1000 = 142.835 or 143

or this equation

7 + 0.15x = 1000 = 6620

- I apologize for not giving an exact answer but I couldn't pick between these two. I think it would make sense to pick the first one since it gives you an actual decimal. Which in your question stated, "Round to the nearest whole day" SO, you would obviously end up with a decimal. But just in case if you have doubts on the first one, the second one is there as well. I hope this helped !

Softa [21]

The meal cost spent by Jack at the restaurant if he spent $15 including tip and bill is $11.79.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the meal cost, hence:

Total cost = x + 0.2x + 0.0725x

15 = 1.2725x

x = 11.79

The meal cost spent by Jack at the restaurant if he spent $15 including tip and bill is $11.79.

what is the example of a product that will have the same number of zeros in the factors and the products? what is one example of
Natalka [10]

Answer:

  • same: 30×40 = 1200
  • different: 20×50 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product

Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product

__

Same: 0.3×0.4 = 0.12 . . . . no zeros in the factors; no zeros in the product

Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point

_____

For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.

<u>Example</u>: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.

__

For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Here, the term "mantissa" is used to refer to the portion of the number written in scientific notation that multiplies the power of 10.
