Why might a mattress store choose to advertise new mattresses, worth $1,000, as $50 per week for 22 weeks?

2 answers:

8 0

$50 per week is more affordable to most people than $1000 up front. So the customer is more likely to buy it, and the store ends up 50*22 = $1100, so $100 more (which might seem worth it for the customer if they get to pay it over 22 weeks).

Some people might also be enticed by the low price of $50 and think its cheaper.

By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.

2) In 1000 sq. meter of land a farmer cultivated 765 kg of rice with the wastage of 23.5%. I) Find the weight of the wastage. II

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Weight of wastage=179.775kg

weight of rice cultivated= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated=76.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of land=100 square meters

Cultivated rice=765kg

Wastage=23.5%

1) Weight of the wastage=23.5% of 765kg

=23.5/100 × 765

=17977.5 / 100

=179.775 kg

2) Weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg

= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5

= 76.5%

3) if area is increased 40 times in size

New area=1000 square meters × 40

=40,000 square meters

Cultivated rice= 765kg × 40

=30,600 kg

Cultivated rice excluding wastage=585.225 kg × 40

=23,409 kg

Use the exponential decay model, Upper A equals Upper A 0 e Superscript kt, to solve the following. The half-life of a certai

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

It will take 7 years ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows the amount of the substance after t years,

$A=A_0 e^{kt}$

Where,

$A_0$ = Initial amount of the substance,

If the half life of the substance is 19 years,

Then if t = 19, amount of the substance = $\frac{A_0}{2}$ ,

i.e.

$\frac{A_0}{2}=A_0 e^{19k}$

$\frac{1}{2} = e^{19k}$

$0.5 = e^{19k}$

Taking ln both sides,

$\ln(0.5) = \ln(e^{19k})$

$\ln(0.5) = 19k$

$\implies k = \frac{\ln(0.5)}{19}\approx -0.03648$

Now, if the substance to decay to 78% of its original amount,

Then $A=78\% \text{ of }A_0 =\frac{78A_0}{100}=0.78 A_0$

$0.78 A_0=A_0 e^{-0.03648t}$

$0.78 = e^{-0.03648t}$

Again taking ln both sides,

$\ln(0.78) = -0.03648t$

$-0.24846=-0.03648t$

$\implies t = \frac{0.24846}{0.03648}=6.81085\approx 7$

Hence, approximately the substance would be 78% of its initial value after 7 years.
