Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
Answer:
The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.
Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;
I = PRT/100
where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88
P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question
R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question
T is the time which we are to find
we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;
T = 100I/PR
substituting the values listed above we have;
T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)
T = 19688/7875
T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No, the equation cannot be written with the given information. The distance from the catapult when the watermelon reached the maximum height is needed. Since the watermelon did not start on the ground, it cannot be assumed that the maximum was reached half the distance to the landing point.
Answer:
41 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean's theorem,
Hypotenuse² = base² + adjacent²
Diagonal² = length² + width²
= 40² + 9²
= 1600 + 81 = 1681
Diagonal = √1681 = 41 units
