What is 9$ discounted to 4$ in percent form?

1 answer:

4 0

9 dollars is 4 dollars.
Let's find the percent form of the discount
=> 4 dollars / 9 dollars = 0.44
Now, let's convert it to percentage
=> 0.44 * 100% = 44%
Thus the discount is 44%

A cooler has a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A bottled drink is placed in the cooler with an initial temperature of

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

$k \approx 0.44$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$f(t) = (ce)^{-kt}+32$

As per question statement:

Initial temperature of bottle is 70 $^\circ F$ .

i.e. when time = 0 minutes, f(t) = 70 $^\circ F$

$70 = ce^{-k\times 0}+32\\\Rightarrow 38 = ce^{0}\\\Rightarrow c = 38$

After t = 3, f(t) = 42 $^\circ F$

$42 = 38 \times e^{-k\times 3}+32\\\Rightarrow 42-32 = 38 \times e^{-3k} \\\Rightarrow 10 = 38 \times e^{-3k} \\\Rightarrow e^{3k} = \dfrac{38}{10}\\\Rightarrow e^{3k} = 3.8\\\\\text{Taking } log_e \text{both the sides:}\\\\\Rightarrow log_e {e^3k} = log_e {3.8}\\\Rightarrow 3k \times log_ee=log_e {3.8} (\because log_pq^r=r \times log_pq)\\\Rightarrow 3k \times 1=log_e {3.8}\\\Rightarrow 3k = 1.34\\\Rightarrow k = \dfrac{1.34}{3}\\\Rightarrow k \approx 0.44$
