Purchasing power is the value of a currency expressed in terms of the amount of goods or services that one unit of money can buy. A rate of return is the annual percentage return realized on an investment, which is adjusted for changes in prices due to inflation or other external effects.
Given:
Rate of return = 3%Rate of inflation =3%
Buying Power = 3% - 3% = 0%
Thus, the buying power will remain same for the year.
The answer would be 18 soldiers!!
P= 3
Q= -14
R= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Just solve the equation on the right side, you'll get:
=3x^2 -15x +x -5
=3x^2 -14x -5
Now compare it to the equation on the left side,
The coefficient of x^2 on the left is "p", on the right that we just solved is 3.
Same for "q" which is the coefficient on the left, on the right it's -14.
And for "r" it's -5 from the equation on the right.
