Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.

You have 55,000 in your savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest and the inflation rate is 3.4%. How much buying power wil
diamong [38]
We solve the question as follows:
Simple interest=Principle×Rate×Time
Thus given:
p=$55000, R=2.5%, time= 1 year
thus
Interest=55000×0.025×1=$1375

To evaluate the amount required to keep up with the inflation, your interest rate should match the inflation rate otherwise prices are going up faster than the savings.
Required interest rate=55000×0.034×1=$1870

The buying power lost will be the difference between your required interest and actual interest.

Thus:
Buying power lost=1870-1375=$495

Please answer this correctly without making mistakes
Monica [59]

Answer:

g=56

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar shapes, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

For example,

if the sides in triangle 1 were a and b, and triangle 2 had side lengths c and d, c and a had the same ratios, and b and d had the same ratios

and triangle 1 was similar to triangle 2, the ratio between the sides of the triangles would be

a/c, which is also equal to b/d

What that means is that in this situation, 8/5=g/35.

8/5=g/35

Cross multiply.

(8)*(35)=g*(5)

280=5g

g=56

Use set notation to denote the elements, subsets, and complements of the following given sets.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

N = {13, 15, 17, 19} is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We are given with the following details:</u>

N is the set of odd natural numbers.

N contains the elements which are greater than 11 and less than 21.

<u>To write:</u> The set notation for the elements of set N.

<u>Solution:</u>

First of all, let us see what are odd natural numbers.

Natural numbers are the positive integers i.e. {1,2,3,4, ........ }

Odd Natural numbers are the natural numbers which leave remainder as 1 when divided by 2 i.e. {1,3,5,7,9,11,13, ...... 21, 23, 25, 27.....}

Here, set N is odd natural numbers greater than 11 (so 11 will not be included) and less than 21 (so 21 will not be included). Odd natural numbers between 11 and 21 will be included.

So the <em>answer will be N = {13,15,17,19}.</em>
