Smith has a dairy farm in which the number of cows increases at the rate of 5% per annum which results in the increase in the pr

oduction level of the milk by 10% per annum. But the demand of the milk is increasing at the rate of the population of the town. If initially the farm has 160000 cows then the number of cows needed after 4 years to fulfill the requirement of the milk is: a. 204481 b.214481 c. 194440 d.194481 e. None of these

Answer:

d. 194481

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using exponential growth rate formula

This is given as:

y = a(1 + r) ^t

Where y = Amount after time t

a = Initial amount = 160000

r = growth or increase rate = 5% = 0.05

t = time in years = 4

y = 160000(1 + 0.05)⁴

y = 160000(1.05)⁴

y = 194481

Therefore, the number of cows needed after 4 years to fulfill the requirement of the milk is 194481

The perimeter of a triangle is 199 inches. If one side of the triangle is six more than the shorter side, and the longer side is
Keith_Richards [23]
Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77

the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19

substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58

then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77

A ladder is placed against a wall such that the top is 8 feet above the ground. If the ladder is 10 feet long, how far away from
Annette [7]

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle formed by the wall, ladder and ground.

Let the distance the ladder is from the wall be d , then

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse ( ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides ( wall and d ), then

d² + 8² = 10²

d² + 64 = 100 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

d² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

d = \sqrt{36} = 6

That is the ladder is 6 feet away from the wall

A frozen dinner at a grocery store is purchased for $2.20 wholesale and is marked up by 40 percent. A customer wants to buy four
Y_Kistochka [10]
Since the frozen dinner at the grocery store was bumped up by 40%, the new price would have been $3.08
Now, a customer wants to buy 4 frozen dinners, so multiply the price of one frozen dinner by 4.
$3.08 x 4 = $12.32
There is a 9% sales tax put up for the grocery store. You will want to multiply 9% (or .09) times the price of the 4 frozen dinners.
$12.32 x .09 ~ $1.11
Add the sales tax price to the price of the four frozen dinners.
$12.32 + $1.11 = $13.43 
$13.43 will be the amount the customer will pay.
