Answer:
(a) 8.15
(b) 12.92
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: P = $3000, r = 0.085

Where
A is the Amount
P is the Principal
r is the rate
t is the time
(a) For the amount to double, A = 2 × P
A = 2 × $3000
A = $6000



Take
of both sides

But 
∴ 


t = 8.15
(b) For the amount to double, A = 3 × P
A = 3 × $3000
A = $9000



Take
of both sides

But 
∴ 


t = 12.92
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the gardener bought more white than pink, that could mean he could have bought 12 white and one pink, 11 white and 2 pink, 10 white and 3 pink, 9 white and 4 pink, 8 white and 5 pink, or 7 white and 6 pink.
If you plug in the numbers, for example with 7 and 6, that would equal $53, which is not correct. Continue to do this with all of the answers.
With 8 white roses and 5 pink roses, this would equal $55 (40+15), which is the answer.
Answer:
x = a(c - b)
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
x/a + b = c
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract <em>b</em> on both sides: x/a = c - b
- Multiply <em>a</em> on both sides: x = a(c - b)
