Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the measure of sides of a triangle are 8:15:17

The perimeter is 480

8x + 15x + 17x= 480

40x= 480

x = 480/40

x = 12

Therefore the measure of the shortest side of the triangle can be calculated as follows

8x

8×12

= 96

Amir deposits $325 in a bank account that earns 3% each year. How much will the account have in 5 years? Assume they make no add
Neko [114]

Answer:

C - 376.76

Step-by-step explanation:

each year, multiply the previous year's amount by 1.03 - the 1 because it will be increasing and the .03 because it will be increasing by 3% (.03 = 3% in decimal form)

year 0: 325

year 1 (+3%): 325 x 1.03 = 334.75

year 2 (+3%): 334.75 x 1.03 = 344.79

year 3 (+3%): 344.79 x 1.03 = 355.14

year 4 (+3%): 355.14 x 1.03 = 365.79

year 5 (+3%): 365.79 x 1.03 = <u>376.76</u>

KIM [24]
Original price= 60
New price =40
Change in value=new price -original price
Change in value= 40-60
Change in value=-20
%decreased=change in value/original pricex100%
%decreased=20/60x100
%decreased= 33.3%
If rounded for the nearest whole number then it is 33%

Paha777 [63]
<h3>Answer: $326.59</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

F = future value

P = present value = 280

r = rate of inflation in decimal form = 0.08

t = elapsed time in years = 2

---------

F = P*(1+r)^t

F = 280*(1+0.08)^2

F = 326.592

F = 326.59

A point represents a _____.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Location.

Explanation:

A point has no physical properties of any sort, so 2 would automatically be out of the question. A point on a number line is represented by a dot, and the location of whatever object you're representing as the dot will be where the dot goes. Therefore, the answer is Location.

Hope this helped!
