Answer:

54minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to clean up be t

Let the number of people cleaning be n

If the time it takes to clean up after an anniversary party varies inversely as the number of people cleaning then;

t = k/n

k is the constant of proportionality

If 3 people work together to clean, and took them 90 minutes, this means

at t = 90, n=3

Substitute

90 = k/3

k = 3×90

k = 270

To et the time it will take 5people to clean, the will say;

t =k/n

t =270/5

t = 54 minutes

Hence it will take 5 people 54minues to clean

steposvetlana [31]
S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n})  }{1-r} a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5
S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.
