The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.
where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form
t = number of years
In this case,
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years
We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70
Answer: 308.70 dollars
204204 - 16 = 204188
204188 / 4 = 51,047
width = 51,047
length = 51,055
Hi there!
Let's break this down:
Two times a number = 2n
Increased by 5 = + 5
is 15 - = 15
Total equation:
2n + 5 = 15
Solving:
2n + 5 = 15
2n = 10
n = 5
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
Answer:
5 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The number here is will be represented as under -
Let the number be x.
Thus, the 5 times the number will be = 5x.
Now, it says, the number is 68 less than 5 times a number.
The equation so formed will be -
5x - 68 = x
4x = 68
x = 68.
Thus, the number will be 17.
Let us re-check the number,
(5 × 17) - 68 = 17
85 - 68 = 17
<em><u>17 = 17. Thus, the number will be 17.</u></em>
