Number of employees outside of company=40-29=11
we can calculate the percent decrease in staff by the rule of 3
40 employees-----------------100%
11 employees---------------- x
x=(11 employees*100%) / 40 employees=27.5%
The percent decrease in staff was: 27.5%
Answer:
y= 1200(0.92)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Cost price= $1200
Rate of decrease= 8%
Let the time be x
The expression that describes an exponential function is
y= ab^x
for decrease b= 1-r
y= 1200(1-0.08)^x
y= 1200(0.92)^x
Hence the expression is
y= 1200(0.92)^x
Answer
After 13.15 years the population of both towns will become equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population of the city Anville is given by using the compound interest formula
The formula of compound interest
A = p( 1+r/n)^n*t
using this we get
P1 = 16000 (1 +
) ^1*t
Population of the city of Brinker will be
P2 = 11000( 1 +
) ^1*t
now to make equal population in both towns
P1=P2
16000 (1 +
) ^1*t = 11000( 1 +
) ^1*t

t = 13.15 years
4/12 is 0.33% while 3/6 is 0.5% so 3/6 is bigger
