Answer:

1. a = 5400

2. r = 0.96

3. Percentage decrement = 65.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = ar^t

Solving (a): Write down the value of a

a implies the first term

And from the question, we understand that the initial number of trees is 5400.

Hence,

a = 5400

Solving (b): Show that r = 0.96

Using

N = ar^t

When a = 5400, t = 1 i.e. the first year and N = 5184

Substitute these values in the above expression

5184 = 5400 * r¹

5184 = 5400 * r

5184 = 5400r

Solve for r

r = 5184/5400

r = 0.96

Solving (c): Show that the trees has decreased by over 65% in 2040

First, we need to calculate number of years (t) in 2040

t = 2040 - 2014

t = 26

Substitute 26 for t, 5400 for a and 0.96 for r in N = ar^t to get the number of trees left

N = 5400 * 0.96^26

N = 1868.29658019

N = 1868 (approximated)

Next, we calculate the percentage change as thus:

%Change = (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

Where the initial number of trees =5400 and final = 1868

%Change = (1868 - 5400)/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532%/54

%Change = -65.4%

The negative sign indicates a decrements or reduction.

Hence, percentage decrement = 65.4% and this is over 65%

Rachel has 30 pounds of a mixture of candy that sells for $1.00/lb. If lollipops sell for $0.95/lb and caramel candies sell for
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Twenty Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation #1:

30lbs x Mix Price = (Lollipop Lbs  x 0.95)  + (Caramel Lbs X 1.10)

Equation #2:

Lollipops Lbs + Caramel Lbs = 30 Lbs

<em>Rearrange expressions to solve for different variables</em>

EQ1:   Caramel Lbs = (30 - .95 Lollipop Lbs)/ 1.10      NOTE: (mix price = 1.00)

EQ2:  Lollipop Lbs = 30 - Caramel Lbs

<em>Substitute formula 1 into formula 2</em>

Lollipop Lbs = 30 - [(30 - .95 Lollipop Lbs)/1.10]

<em>Distribute divisor</em>

Lollipop Lbs  = 30 - 27.2727 + .8636 Lollipop Lbs

<em>Collect terms</em>

Lollipop Lbs  =  2.7273 + .8636 Lollipop Lbs

<em>Remove .8336 Lollipops from both sides of the equation</em>

.1364 Lollipop Lbs = 2.7273

<em>Divide both sides by .1364  </em> (Answer is  19.9949 which rounds to 20)

Lollipop Lbs =  20

PROOF:

30 = (20 x 0.95) + (10 x 1.10)

30 = 19 + 11

30 = 30   TRUE!
