Answer:

$1307.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original investment be x.

Note that a 30% increase in a value is equal to multiplying a value by 130% and a withdrawal is to take out money. The final amount is $1500. Let’s write the equation with the information we have.

Equation:

130%x - 200 = 1500

(130/100)x = 1700

x = 1700(100/130) = $1307.69

I hope this helps! :)

In general. A clock that is 3 seconds slow but keeps consistent time will be more accurate than a clock that loses 1 second ever
Pani-rosa [81]
True.

If the clock loses 1 second every hour that passes then after 4 hours it will be 4 seconds off, 5 hours will be 5 seconds off, etc. It would continue and turn into minutes and hours off.

german

Answer: The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold is 9:7

Step-by-step explanation:

The restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.

In one day they sold a total of 64 sodas. If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet sodas, the rest would be regular sodas. Therefore, the number of regular sodas sold will be 64 - 28 = 36 regular sodas. The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold would be the number of regular sodas sold divided by the number of diet sodas sold. It becomes

36/28 = 18/14 = 9/7
