Answer:74 is the answer and you would use P.E.M.D.A.S to solve
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential growth/decay type problem...
F=Ir^t, F=final value, I=initial value, r=rate, t=time, in this case I=1250 and r=(1-.045)=0.955 so
F=1250(.955)^t and we want to find t for when F=800
800=1250(.955)^t
.64=.955^t take the natural log of both sides...
ln.64=t ln.955
t=(ln.64)/ln.995
t≈9.69 weeks
t≈9.69 weeks (to nearest hundredth of a week)
You can make a 6 x 6 square to illustrate the probabilities
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 *
5 6 7 8 9 * &
6 7 8 9 * & $
* =10, & =11, $ = 12, I wanted maintain spacing
There are 3 4's. So it is 3/36 chance, which is 1/12 chance.
