Answer:
y = 650·0.922^t
Step-by-step explanation:
At the end of each year, 92.2% of the amount at the beginning of the year remains. That is, the beginning amount is multiplied by 0.922. The exponent t in 0.922^t tells how many times (years) that multiplication has taken place. At the end of t years, the amount remaining in milligrams (y) is ...
y = 650·0.922^t
Answer:
Mason has
- 16 20¢ stamps;
- 25 3¢ stamps;
- 40 49¢ stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 20¢ stamps, then the number of 3¢ stamps is x + 9.
Mason has 56 total 49¢ and 20¢ stamps, then the number of 49¢ stamps is 56 - x.
Amounts:
- in 49¢:
cents; - in 20¢:
cents; - in 3¢:
cents.
Total amount:
- $23.55.
Hence,
Mason has
- 16 20¢ stamps;
- 25 3¢ stamps;
- 40 49¢ stamps.
Answer:
yooooooooooooooooooooo
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!
