The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum. what would

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The population in 2005 is 59,535 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Annum means annually or yearly. We assume the rate has been consistent. To calculate percentage, take the percent in decimal form. 5% is 0.05 (like 17% is 0.17, and 50% 0.5). 5% is actually 5 hundredths of a number. Multiply this by the number you want the percentage of. 54,000*0.05=2,700. This is how much the population grows from 2003 to 2004.

There is a very common mistake people make after this, which is simply doubling that number and adding to the population. This is incorrect because if it grows 5% yearly, the yearly population CHANGES. The question would change if it were 2004 to 2005. Ask your teacher for clarification if this sounds wrong (if it is, do what I said above, the answer would be 59,400 people).

So, the population in 2004 is 54,000+2,700=56,700. Now, find 5% of the population in 2004 using the same method as before. 56,700*0.05=2,835. Add the growth to the pervious population. 56,700+2,835=59,535.

The population in 2005 is 59,535 people.

$75 before tax. Disc: 10% Tax: 7%, Tip: 20% what’s the total?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$102.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

We are given a cost of 75 dollars and are being asked to find the total cost after adding a tip, tax, and disc to the cost. To find this answer we will use the formula to calculate percentages making sure we use 75 as our base for each addition to our total cost.

Formula to calculate percentages:

$\frac{p\times n}{100}$

First the disc:

$\frac{10\times 75}{100}$
$10\times75=750$
$750\div100=7.5$
$=7.5$

Next the tax:

$\frac{7\times75}{100}$
$7\times75=525$
$525\div100=5.25$
$=5.25$

Last but not least the tip:

$\frac{20\times75}{100}$
$20\times75=1500$
$1500\div100=15$
$=15$

Finally add:

$75+7.50+5.25+15=102.75$
$=102.75$

The total cost after adding the disc, tax, and the tip will be "$102.75."

Hope this helps.

Find the slope of the line through the points (4,2) and (6,2).

olganol [36]

Answer:

The slope is m=0

Explanation:But since the y-coordinates of the points are equal, we can find the slope easier than just by using above formula.

Explanation:But since the y-coordinates of the points are equal, we can find the slope easier than just by using above formula.If y-coordinates are equal and x-coordinates are not equal (as in our case), then the slope equals 00 (the line is horizontal).
