Answer:

40 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

Brayden saves $1,500 at a yearly simple interest rate of 2.5%.

This means that $P = 1500, I = 0.025$

How many years does it take for the amount he has saved to be double the original amount?

This will happen when the earned money is the principal, that is, E = 1500. So

$E = P*I*t$

$1500 = 1500*(0.025)*t$

$t = \frac{1}{0.025}$

$t = 40$

40 years.

Answer:

Part 1: 114,570,685 people

Part 2: The population grew by 2.5% (1,722,862 people)

Step-by-step explanation: For part 1 you would multiply 100,236,820 by 1.143 because of the fact that your percentage is increasing. so the 1 before the decimal point stands for 100% of the starting number and the .143 stands for the 14.3% that the population is increasing by.

Part 2 you would divide 53,594,378 by 55,317,240 to get approximately .975. .975 shows that 53,594,378 is about 97.5% of 55,317,240. You then subtract the numbers 100 and 97.5 to get 2.5. 2.5 is the percentage that the population is increasing by. So, then you could just subtract 55,317,240 and 53,594,378 to get 1,722,862. This is the amount of people the population increased by. Then you just put your answer that the population increased. That it increased by 2.5% and 2.5%= 1,722,862 people

I hope this helps you :)

A map has a scale of 1m represents 2 km. write this scale as a ratio in its simplest form

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x2+3-5x-10. Has she expanded it correctly? Please identify the mistakes and write the correct wa

Nimfa-mama [501]

The given expression is :

2xx+3-5(x-2)

We know that, $x{\cdot}x=x^2$

$=2x^2+3-5(x-2)\\\\=2x^2+3+(-5)(x)+(-5)(-2)\\\\=2x^2+3-5x+10$

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x²+3-5x-10. She is mistaken because the sign before 10 should be +10 instead of -10. Hence, the correct expanded form is 2x²+3-5x+10. Hence, this is the required solution.
