Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 isn't greater than -4
Answer:
9 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy: first cancel the fraction part of the mixed number, then subtract the remaining fraction from the integer obtained.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = 10 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/4
= 10 -1/4
= 9 3/4
__
Strategy: turn the subtracted fraction into a whole number by adding 1/4 to both parts of the problem, then subtract the whole number.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = (10 1/2 +1/4) -(3/4 +1/4)
= 10 3/4 -1
= 9 3/4
_____
We assume that you know that 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4, or 3/4 -1/2 = 1/4. If you need to, you can get there by using the equivalent: 1/2 = 2/4.
The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.
where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form
t = number of years
In this case,
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years
We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70
Answer: 308.70 dollars
