a) 3/2 b) 5/1 c) Nathan
Step-by-step explanation:
it is Nathan because he runs 5 meters every second and Jay only runs 1.5 meters every second. hope this helps.
You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x
Red shirts and blue shirts equally count to his bonus, so he has 15 + 23 = 38 shirts sold at this moment. He needs to sell 75 shirts for the bonus. We subtract our goal from what he have; 75 - 38 = 37.
The strategy here: subtract the goal (75 shirts) from what you did to get to the goal (15 shirts and 23 shirts).
Nathan needs to sell 37 more shirts for the bonus. Hope this helps.

The lowest common denominator for 8 and 12 is 24. So you would need 3 packages of hotdogs and 2 packages of buns.
