Answer:
The answer is...
1: quadrant III
2: quadrant II
3: quadrant IV
4: quadrant I
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: 0.10x + 0.25 = 0.80 (dimes are 10 cents or 0.10 dollars, quarters are 0.25 dollars)
Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:
0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80
0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:
0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)
x = 3
Therefore you have 3 dimes
7/15 will be the most you can simplify
This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
