Answer:
1 year=3.2%
2 year=6.4%
3 year=9.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the% increases every year
So for the first year=
3.2% of 1
3.2%×1
3.2%
For second year
3.2% ×2
6.4%
For the third year
3.2% × 3
9.6%
Let the original number be x.
Acc. to the question,
2x+1616=(2/5)x
or, 10x+8080=2x
or, 10x-2x= -8080
or, 8x= -8080
or, x= -8080/8
or, x = -1010
Therefore, the original number is -1010
The answer is 58, because 2/5 is equal to 0.4, and 0.4 multiplied by 145 is 58.
Answer:
They live 285 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance be x miles
Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means
Total distance driven in the first and second hour is
(x/5 + 34)miles
He still has 194 miles more to go.
Therefore,
The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.
x = x/5 + 34 + 194
x = x/5 + 228
Cross multiplying
5x = x + 1140
4x = 1140
x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
