Let the original bill be
, then the final bill after the charges been added are
, where
is the increase in the bill by 0.2 (100%+20% = 120% = 1.2)
The range of the original bill is
200 <
< 800, subtract each term by 25
175 <
< 775, divide each term by
145.83 <
< 645.83
Hence, the range of the original bill is between $145.83 and $645.83
Answer:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7x+7=5x-21
12x+7=5x-21
12x-5x=-21-7
7x=-28
x=28/7
x=4
METHOD 2:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x
7(x+1)=-21
7x+7=-21
7x=-28
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

To find the answer of this question, you have to multiply 25.60*0.35, since 35% equals 0.35 and the original price of the sweater was 25.60. After you do this, you should get $8.96 as the amount of the discount.
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
