Answer:

Let June's sweets be 5x.

Then Gavyn's sweets will be 5x.

And Alex's sweets will be 3x.

5x = 3x + 22

2x = 22

x = 11

So June has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

Gavyn has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

And Alex have 3 x 11 = 33 sweets

Total

= 55 + 55 + 33

= 143 sweets

In 2010 an item costs $9.00. The price increases by 1.5% each year. How much will it be in 2030?

Yanka [14]

Answer:11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.

2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)

3. Make your equation

20(9*(.015))+9

+9 is your starting point

9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year

20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years

4. Crunch em numbers

Are the following lines parallel perpendicular or neither y=-5/3x - 5 and y=4/3x - 5

katrin [286]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

For lines to be parallels the slopes must be equal, for the lines to be perpendicular the lines have to be inverse reciprocals meaning if you have a slope of 1/2X then the perpendicular line must be -2X

the population of masterton was 23 000 in 2012. Assume that Masterton population increases at a rate of 2% per year. Write an eq

Oksanka [162]

So, let's first focus on the first year:

the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%

100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.

So it will be 23000*1.02

After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on

so after x years it will be:

y=23000* $1.02^{z}$
