Let x + 15 = total penguins
15/ (x +15) = .30
15 = .30x + 4.5
.30x = 10.5
x = 35
Total penguins = 15 + 35 = 50
Double Check
15 / 50 * 100 = 30% Correct!!!
Answer:
(5-2a+6b)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
According to PEMDAS, we would multiply 2 by (a+3b) first. This would equal 2a+6b. Since this is being subtracted from 5, the numerator would equal 5-2a+6b. This would bring the simplified answer to (5-2a+6b)/2
Answer:
Population after 4 years = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 47 (nearest unit)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yearly decrease = 4.6%
Decrease factor (what's left) = (100-4.6)% = 0.954
Current population, P = 60
population after n years = P(0.954)^n (to the nearest unit)
Population after 4 years = 60(0.954)^4 = 49.7 = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 60(0.954)^5 = 47.4 = 47 (nearest unit)
