Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks
z° = 80° (Being corresponding angles)
y° + 80° = 180° (Being linear pair of angles)
=> y° = 180° - 80°
=> y° = 100°
x° = y° (Being interior opposite angles)
=> x° = 100°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 6
y = (6-x)
7x +12y = 52
7x+12(6-x) = 52
7x +72 -12x = 52
-5x = -20
x= 4 4 days at $7 = $28
2 days at $12 = $24
28+24 = 52
First find the number of ft around the garden and if it took Clare 30 min to walk the entire distance divide your previous answer by 30 so you can see how many ft per minute she was walking
