There are 100 bacteria in a jar. Every day, the number of bacteria increases 25%. In approximately how many days will there be 5

algol [13]

Use compound interest formula

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P(1+r/100)^t=500$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 100(1+0.25)^t=500$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (1.25)^t=5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow log(1.25)^t=log5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow tlog1.25=log5$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t(0.097)=0.3$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t=3.3\approx 3$

Help me now plsss! can't think this one out.

She worked 30 hours per week.

The problem turns out to be the following:
2x+15=3x-15.
First you need to have only one x variable so you subtract the X's:
3x-2x=X
The problem now turns into 15=x-15.
You have to isolate the X so you do x+15. You have to do the same to the other side so 15+15=30, therefore x=30
