Answer:

-525 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If a submarine was below sea level, that would mean that it would be at an elevation of negative feet down, so if it's 800 feet below sea level, it's elevation would be -800.

to ascend means to rise, so the submarine would be moving +275 feet (going higher, closer to sea level)

so you can make out this equation: -800 + 275

this would equal: -525

A swim team is divided into age groups: Guppies, stingrays, and sharks. There are 20 swimmers in the Stingray group. If we rando
ivanzaharov [21]

If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:

20/x = 40/100

20/x = 4/10

20/x = 2/5

x = 50.

Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.

How much interest will she earn in 3 years?
alekssr [168]
For this, the equation is 
90× 1.13³=y
X was replaced with y. Since she is gaining, you have to remember she is going to have 100 percent of what he had before, she will not lose any.
90× 1.13= 129.86
Now, we need to find the amount of interest she gained, so we have to subtract 90 from the total.
129.86-90=39.86
We can also find the answer by completing a small chart.
The first column will be the year. The second will be the amount. The third will be the interest for the year.
1                                                90                                                11.7
2                                                101.7                                           13.22
3                                                 114.92                                        14.94
The total would round to 39.86, so her interest for the 3 year would be 39.86, with her having 129.86 altogether.
