Answer:
29.6
Step-by-step explanation:
20% = 0.20
0.20 * 148 = 29.6
Let's factor the top and the bottom.
Top factors 4x + 20 = 4(x + 5)
Bottom x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
The gcf is the largest value that will go into both the top and the bottom. In our problem the ONLY thing that will go into top and bottom is x + 5 so that is your GCF. (c)
Answer:
(a). $20,000
(b). The estimate will be lower than the actual amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.
(a). We know that 1 year equals 12 months.
4 years = 4*12 months = 48 months.

Since we are asked to find the estimated amount of money Michael will save in 4 years, so we will estimate both quantities as:



Therefore, Michael will save approximately $20,000 in 4 years.
(b).
The estimate will be lower than the actual amount as we rounded $423 down $23 to nearest hundred that is $400 and rounded 48 up 2 to nearest ten that is 40.
Therefore, the estimate will be lower than the actual amount.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is
, where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay
Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. 
Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is
