Answer:

It will take 47 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can have the exponential function as follows;

P = I( 1 + r)^n

if the initial value was x , the final will be 2x

The change rate is 1.5% , which is r, this is same as;

1.5/100 = 0.015

So what we want to calculate is the n attached

This will be;

2x = x ( 1 + 0.015)^n

2 = 1.015^n

ln 2 = n ln 1.015

n = ln 2/ln 1.015

n = 46.55

This is approximately 47 hours

24 is 120% of what? Pls help
Bess [88]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be equal to the number that 24 is 120% of.

x*1.2=24

Divide both sides by 1.2 to isolate x

\frac{x*1.2}{1.2} =\frac{24}{1.2}\\x=20

Therefore, 24 is 120% of 20.

I hope this helps!
