Answer:
900
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, 4% × x = 36
4
or ----- × x = 36
100
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 4,
100
we have x = 36 × -------
4
x = 900
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 36×100÷4, which will give you the answer
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, I think it was "respectively", not "respecfully", =))). A noticeable point.
From the problem, three item's costs are represented by three consecutive even integer.
Thus, we can call cost of spoiler is x, sunroof is x-2, stereo is x + 2. It is conditioned that x is an even number.
Since the sum of the three is 48, we have
(x-2) + x + (x+2) = 48
x+x+x -2 +2 = 48
3x =48
x=16
So the spoiler is 16; thus, the sunroof is 14 and the stereo is 18
Answer:
14 3/4 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume compound inflation. The appropriate formula for that is:
A = P(1 + r)^t.
If we represent current prices by P, then double that would be 2P:
2P = P(1 + 0.048)^t Find t, the time required for prices to double.
Then:
2 = 1.048^t
Taking the natural log of both sides, we get:
ln 2 = t·ln 1.048, so that:
t = (ln 2) / (ln 1.048) = 14.78
At 4.8 inflation, with annual compounding, prices will double in approx. 14 3/4 years.
