Answer: 30% change in the number of unemployed construction workers over this period

Step-by-step explanation:

September 1, 1992

The total number of construction workers = 1,000 (assume);

16% are unemployed, so the number of unemployed workers is 16*1000/100= 160.

September 1, 1996

The total number of construction workers 20% greater 20*1000/100+1000=1200;

9% are unemployed, thus the number of unemployed workers = 9*1200/100=108.

Decrease is 52, which is approximately 30% of 160.

Find the dimensions of a rectangle, length 7m less than three times the width and the area of the rectangle is 66m^2.
zhuklara [117]

  We know: length of a rectangle is 7m less than three times the width.

So let's set the length to l, width to w.

And we can get that l = 3w-7.

We also know that the area of the rectangle is 66 m^2.

Thus, l*w= 66.

So we have:

function 1: l=3w-7

function 2: l*w=66

plug function 1 to 2.

(3w-7)*w=66

3w^2-7w-66=0

w=6 and -11/3.

And the width of a rectangle can not be negative.

So: w=6.

Plug w=6 back to function 1 or 2, either way is correct and can give you the length. In this case, I will plug it back to function 1.

l=3*6-7=11.

So: the width of the rectangle is 6, and the length of the rectangle is 11.

Colin invests £2350 into a savings account. The bank gives 4.2% compound interest for the first 4 years and 4.9% thereafter. How
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

£3692

Step-by-step explanation:

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

Where,

A = future value

P = principal = £2350

r = interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042

n = number of periods = 1(annual)

t = time = 4 years

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

= 2350(1 + 0.042/1)^1*4

= 2350(1 + 0.042)^4

= 2350(1.042)^4

= 2350(1.5789)

= 2770.42

A = £2770.42

Total years = 10

Remaining years = 10 - 4

= 6 years

Remaining 6 years

P = £2770.42

r = 4.9% = 0.049

n = 1

t = 6

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

= 2770.42(1 + 0.049/1)^1*6

= 2770.42(1 + 0.049)^6

= 2770.42(1.049)^6

= 2770.42(1.3325)

= 3691.59

A = £3691.59

Approximately £3692

if b = the number of blue bikes , which algebraic expression represent the phrase below ? the sum of the number of blue bikes an
Yanka [14]

The answer would be the algebraic expression, b + 9. The translation here is b is representing the number of blue bikes then you needed to add the 9 which represents the 9 red bikes. The two is added together, to get the total of those red and blue bikes which we are looking for.
