Answer:
12%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase of something is often represented in a formula of a format like this:
X=Ar^t
Where X represents the total amount after t years.
A or 87000 in this case represents the starting value, which is this case is the starting population of the town. r or 1.12 represents the percentage increase, if it increases by 12% than the next year has 1.12 times as many people as the previous year so this is represented by 1.12 rather than say 0.12 which would indicate a 88% decrease instead. t is the time, no. of years in this case, that has elapsed since 1996.
This formula basically means that a town population of 87000 increases by 12% for every year of time that elapses.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
<em>He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call
x = pounds of trail mix 5% raisins
y = pounds of trail mix 20% raisins
The distributor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix, thus:
x + y = 1,000 [1]
The mix must be 8% raisings as a combination of x and y, thus:
5x + 20y = 8*1,000 = 8,000
Dividing by 5:
x + 4y = 1,600 [2]
Subtracting [2] and [1]:
4y - y = 1,600 - 1,000
Operating:
3y = 600
y = 200
From [1]
x = 1,000 - y = 1,000 - 200
x = 800
He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this operation we need to find the common multiple of both denominators and solve for a.
Thus, the solution is 7(a -1) / (a+2)(a-5)
