Answer:

Brian has 50 pieces of gum

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaden has three times as many

Therefore-

n x 30 = 150

We need to solve for n

You can do that by dividing 150 by 3

150/3 = 50

So Brian has 50 pieces

Population Growth The population of a town of 5000

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) $A=5000{(1.03)}^{t}$

b) 5464 inhabitants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for compound interest becomes very helpful in this case.

$A=P{(1+r)}^{t}\\\\When:\\A = Final Value\\P = Initial Value\\r = Rate of Change (Decimal)\\t = Time (Years)$

Knowing this, we can easily calculate the value for any year, counting from the original 5000.

From this formula, we can derive a specific one that will serve for any value of <em>t</em>.

$A=5000{(1+0.03)}^{t}\\A=5000{(1.03)}^{t}$

b) Apply the formula:

$A=5000{(1.03)}^{3}\\A=5000(1.092727)\\A=5463.635=5464$

The town will have 5464 inhabitants.

A bag contains counters that are red, black , or green . 1/3 of the counters are red 1/6 of the counters are black There are 15

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

There are 5 black counters in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 green counters in the bag

The proportion of green counters is given by:

$p = 1 - (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}) = 1 - (\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}) = 1 - \frac{3}{6} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

So, we have that, the total is x. So

$\frac{x}{2} = 15$

$x = 30$

There are 30 total counters.

How many black counters are in the bag ?

A sixth of the counters are black. So

$\frac{1}{6} \times 30 = \frac{30}{6} = 5$

There are 5 black counters in the bag.
