Answer:

16.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find new values:

5990(1−0.2)=4792

2450(1−0.08)=2254

Last Year This Year

Stock A 5990 4792

Stock B 2450 2254

Total 8440 7046

Find overall decrease:

8440(1−r)=7046

8440(1-r)/8440= 7046/8440

1−r=0.834834

SUBTRACT 1

−r=−0.165166

DIVIDE BY -1

r=0.165166

Multiply by 100 and round to nearest 10th

Final Answer: 16.5%

Answer: 14.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of stock in Company A = $5990

Percent decrease = 20%

New worth = $5990 - (20% × $5990)

= $5990 - (0.2 × $5990)

= $5990 - $1198

= $4972

Worth of stock in Company B = $2450

Percent decrease = 8%

New worth = $2450 - (8% × $2450)

= $2450 - (0.08 × $2450)

= $2450 - $196

= $2254

Previous total worth = $5990 + $2450

= $8440

Total worth = $4972 + $2254

= $7226

The total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account will be:

= [($8440 - $7226) / $8440] × 100

=( $1214 / $8440) × 100

= 0.1438 × 100

= 14.38%

Which expressions are equivalent to 3(6+b)-(2b + 1)?

Anna [14]

Answer:

18+3b-2b-1

b+17

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a+b\right)=-a-b$

$-\left(2b+1\right)=-2b-1$

$=3\left(6+b\right)-2b-1$

$=18+3b-2b-1$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$

$=3b-2b+18-1$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:18-1=17$

$=3b-2b+17$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:terms:}\:3b-2b=b$

$=b+17$

The number of caps a new online store sells increases by a factor of 4 each month. The function f(x)=4^x represents the number o

sladkih [1.3K]

For this case we have the following variables:

x: number of months

f (x): number of caps sold

The function that models the problem is given by:

$f (x) = 4 ^ x$

By the time the store sells 64 caps we have:

$4 ^ x = 64$

From here, we clear the number of months:

$log4 (4 ^ x) = log4 (64)\\x = log4 (64)\\x = 3$

Answer:

the store sells 64 caps in 3 monts

A. month 3
