Answer:
(4, 1/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring the numerator and the denominator, we have:
The amount of money Ben had to begin with after spending 1/6 and 1/2 of it is 57 dollars.
<h3>How to find the how much money he had with an equation?</h3>
let
x = amount he had to begin with
He spent 1/6 of his money on a burger, fries, and a drink. Therefore,
amount spent on burger, fries, and a drink = 1 / 6 x
Hence,
amount he had left = x - 1 / 6 x =6x - x /6 = 5 / 6 x
Then he spent half of the money he had left.
1 / 2(5 /6 x) = 5 + 8.25 + 10.50
5 / 12 x = 23.75
cross multiply
5x = 23.75 × 12
5x = 285
divide both sides by 5
x = 285 / 5
x = 57
Therefore, the amount of money he have to begin with is $57.

Answer:
about 78 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Population
y =ab^t where a is the initial population and b is 1+the percent of increase
t is in years
y = 2000000(1+.04)^t
y = 2000000(1.04)^t
Food
y = a+bt where a is the initial population and b is constant increase
t is in years
b = .5 million = 500000
y = 4000000 +500000t
We need to set these equal and solve for t to determine when food shortage will occur
2000000(1.04)^t= 4000000 +500000t
Using graphing technology, (see attached graph The y axis is in millions of years), where these two lines intersect is the year where food shortages start.
t≈78 years
