Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
-6.9
Discussion:
1.3n - 0.03 = -9 => multiply both sides by 100
130n - 3 = -900 =>
130n = -900 +3 = -897 => add 3 to both sides
n = -897/130 =>
n = - (69 * 13)/ (10*13) =>
n = - 69/10 = - 6.9
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
the answer is 7/10, and yes it is between a whole and a half because 7/10 is over 1/2 but less that a whole.
Answer:
the cost of running the boarding
house for 600 students is N61,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C represents cost
K1 represents first constant
K2 represents second constant
C= k1+k2n
3500 = k1 + 25 k2............. Eqn(1)
6000= k1 + 50 k2 .............. Eqn(2)
Subtract eqn(1) from eqn(2)
2500= 25k2
K2= 2500/25
K2= 100
To get k1 from eqn(1)
3500 = k1 + 25 k2
Substitute the value of k2
3500 = k1 + 25 (100)
3500= k1 +2500
K1= 3500- 2500
K1= 1000
The equation connecting them;
C= 1000+ 100n
The cost of running the boarding
house for 600 students is
n= 600
C= 1000+ 100(600)
C= 1000+60000
C= N 61,0000
N.B. I believe your question is saying that the price of a cup of coffee was $2.40 yesterday, and it rose to $2.65 today. Therefore, I will solve with these prices.
The percent increase is 10.41666666% (The 6 is repeating.).
First, you find the difference, or increase, between the two prices.
New price - Old price = Increase
$2.65 - $2.40 = $0.25
The difference between the two prices is $0.25. To find the percent increase, you want to divide the original price ($2.40) from the increase ($0.25) and multiply by 100.
Increase ÷ Original Price × 100 = % increase
0.25 ÷ 2.40 × 100 = 10.41666666%
The percent increase is 10.41666666% (The 6 is repeating.).
Answer:
D. The rate of change must be 20 pounds per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
At time 0, the amount of sand is 200 lb. Time zero is when it starts, so it is also called the initial time. The initial value is 200 lb, so choices A and B are wrong.
Now look at the difference from time 0 minutes to time 1 minute. The amount of sand went from 200 lb to 220 lb. The amount of sand placed in 1 minute is 20 lb, so the rate of change is 20 lb per minute. That makes choice C wrong and choice D correct.
Answer: D. The rate of change must be 20 pounds per minute.
