Mathematics
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>The cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is

what did a pound of gourmet coffee beans cost two years ago?

So, let the cost two years ago = x

The cost has increased 10% per year

so, the cost one year ago = x + 10% of x = x + 0.1 x = 1.1 x

So, the current cost = 1.1 x + 10% of 1.1 x = 1.1 x + 0.1 * 1.1 x = 1.21 x

But given the current cost = $14

∴ 1.21 x = 14

∴ x = 14/1.21 = 11.57

So, <u>the cost two years ago = $11.57</u>

     10

       9

    -----

       10

       ----

         1

       ----

last number is 9999

9| 9999

  ---------

    1111 |0

    --------

9999=1008+(n-1)9

9999-1008=(n-1)9

n-1=8991/9=999

n=999+1=1000

b.

first digit=1000

last digit=9999-1=9998

2 |9999

  ---------

  |4999|1

9998=1000+(n-1)2

(n-1)2=9998-1000=8998

n-1=4499

n=4499=1=5000

c.not sure

d.

total  numbers=9000

9999=1000+(n-1)1

9999-1000=n-1

n=8999+1=9000

numbers divisible by 3=3000

first number=1002

last number=9999

9999=1002+(n-1)3

(n-1)3=9999-1002=8997

n-1=2999

n=2999+1=3000

numbers not divisible by 3=9000-3000=6000

e.

numbers divisible by 5=1800

first number=1000

last number=9995

9995=1000+(n-1)5

(n-1)5=9995-1000=8995

n-1=1799

n=1799+1=1800

numbers divisible by 7=1286

7 | 1000

1000-6+7=1001

7 | 9999

    1428-3

9999-3=9996

first digit=1001

last digit=9996

9996=1001+(n-1)7

(n-1)7=9996-1001=8995

n-1=1285

The sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero. Summary: Adding two positive integers always yields a positive sum; adding two negative integers always yields a negative sum. To find the sum of a positive and a negative integer, take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract these values.
