Ronald has 5 sets of three yellow beads, if there are 2 blue beads for every set, what is the total amount of blue beads?
Answer:
m= 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we must make the bases equivalent. We can do this by finding the common base which is 5.
We know that 125= 5³ and 25=5², which will help us in this equation. We can rewrite the equation substituting this for the original numbers:
Distribute the exponents to get:
Now, we can simply ignore the '5' and solve for 'm':
6m= 2m+2
4m= 2
m= 1/2.
Answer:
The discount is 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 93.75 by 125 = 75%
however, that is not the discount.
it is the difference of the 100 and the discount.
to find the discount, you do 100 - 75 = 25
if the diameter is 15, its radius is half that, or 7.5
![\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\A=\pi r^2~~\begin{cases}r=radius\\[-0.5em]\hrulefill\\r=7.5\end{cases}\implies A=\pi 7.5^2\implies A=56.25\pi \\\\\\A\approx 176.71459\implies A = \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{177}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Ctextit%7Barea%20of%20a%20circle%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CA%3D%5Cpi%20r%5E2~~%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7Dr%3Dradius%5C%5C%5B-0.5em%5D%5Chrulefill%5C%5Cr%3D7.5%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20A%3D%5Cpi%207.5%5E2%5Cimplies%20A%3D56.25%5Cpi%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CA%5Capprox%20176.71459%5Cimplies%20A%20%3D%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Brounded%20up%7D%7D%7B177%7D)
Note: 20 weeks = 20/52 or 5/13 of a year.
Let E = effective rate of interest
E = [1 + (r/m)]^m - 1 where r is the nominal (annual ) advertised rate; m is the number of compounding periods/year.
Let r = 0.0275
Let m = 5/13
Plug into formula and do the math.
