Answer:

$\dfrac{x}{2} = 18.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> represent the number Dan was thinking about.

Half of the number, x = 18.8

Therefore, when <em>x</em> is divided by 2, the result is 18.8

The equation which can be formed with the given information is therefore;

$\dfrac{x}{2} = 18.8$

Answer:

(a) $A(n)=5500(1.01)^{4n}$

(b)$5955.71

Step-by-step explanation:

For an initial principal P deposited in an account at an annual interest r compounded for a number of period k, the amount in the account after n years is given by the model:

$A(n)=P(1+\dfrac{r}{k})^{nk}$

(a)Aunt Ga Ga gave you $5,500 to save for college.

P=$5,500

Annual Interest, r=4%=0.04

Since interest is compounded quarterly, Number of Periods, k=4

Therefore, an exponential function modeling this situation is:

$A(n)=5500(1+\dfrac{0.04}{4})^{4n}\\A(n)=5500(1+0.01)^{4n}\\$Simplified\\A(n)=5500(1.01)^{4n}$

(b)After 2 years, i.e. when n=2

$A(2)=5500(1.01)^{4*2}\\=\$5955.71$

(c)When A(n)=$10000, we have:

$10000=5500(1.01)^{4n}\\$Divide both sides by 5500\\(1.01)^{4n}=\dfrac{10000}{5500} \\$To solve for n, we change to logarithm form\\Log_{1.01}\dfrac{10000}{5500}=4n\\= \dfrac{ Log \dfrac{10000}{5500}}{Log 1.01}=4n\\4n=60.08\\n=60.08 \div 4\\n=15.02\\$Therefore, in 15.02 years, the account would be worth $10,000.$

A sweet factory produces 5 different chocolate bars. the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for ever

IRISSAK [1]

a. There are 933 chocolate bars

b. There are 1200 chocolate bars

c. There are 1580 chocolate bars

<h3>How to calculate the number of chocolate bars</h3>

Since there are 5 different flavors,

let

x = orange flavored bars,
y = coconut flavored bars,
z = coffee flavored bars,
a = strawberry flavored bars and
b = honeycomb flavored bars and
X = total number of bars

Since the different flavors are always produced in the same proportions, for every 4 coconut flavored bars 5 honeycomb 6 orange 1 coffee and 4 strawberry

So, the ratio of their proportions are x:y:z:a:b = 6:4:2:1:5

So, the total ratio is T = 6 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 20

<h3>a. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 280 orange flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 6 orange flavored bars, the ratio of orange flavored bars to total is 6/20

So, the amount of orange flavored bars is x = 6/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20x/6

So, if there are 280 orange bars, there will be

X = 20x/6

X = 20 × 280/6

X = 5600/6

X = 933.33

X ≅ 933 chocolate bars

So, there are 933 chocolate bars

<h3>b. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 960 coconut flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 4 coconut flavored bars, the ratio of coconut flavored bars to total is 4/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is y = 4/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20y/4

So, if there are 960 coconut flavored bars, there will be

X = 20y/6

X = 20 × 960/4

X = 5 × 240

X = 1200 chocolate bars

So, there are 1200 chocolate bars

<h3>c. What is the total number of chocolate bars if there are 79 coffee flavored bars?</h3>

Since we have 1 coffee flavored bars, the ratio of coffee flavored bars to total is 1/20

So, the amount of coconut flavored bars is z = 1/20 × X

Making X subject of the formula, we have

X = 20z

So, if there are 79 coffee flavored bars, there will be

X = 20z

X = 20 × 79

X = 1580 chocolate bars

So, there are 1580 chocolate bars
