Note: This is a perfect application for equations of ratios.
50 40
------- = ------- and so 50x = 1200, or 5x = 120, or x = 24 (miles).
30 x
-3 x -26 = 78
meaning the answer is D.
The reason the answer is D, is because two negatives when multiplied or divided become positive. Only when multiplied or divided does this occur.
Answer:
the answer in 15% because if you do $208.60 multiplied by 15% you get $31.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 years
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
x = 6 years to the nearest year
