Answer:

$0.50/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in cost is $40-25 = $15 for an increase in weight of 50-20 = 30 lb. That makes the cost per pound be ...

cost/pounds = $15/(30 lb) = $0.50/lb

Investigate the difference between compounding annually and simple interest

Gennadij [26K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula

$A = P (1 + rt)$

Compound interest formula

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*1)\\A=5000(1.025)\\A=5125$

Simple interest is $125

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*1} \\A=5000(1.025)\\A= 5125$

Compound interest is $125

c. the result for both a and b are the same

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.025*3) \\A=5000(1.075) \\A=5375$

the simple interest is $375

. $A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.025}{1})^{1*3}] \\A=5000(1.025)^3 \\A=5000(1.077)\\A= 5385$

the compound interest is $385

f. the result compared, compound interest is $10 more than simple interest

$A = 5000 (1 + 0.02*6) \\A=5000(1.12) \\A=5600$

the simple interest is $600

$A = 5000 (1 + \frac{0.02}{1})^{1*6}] \\A=5000(1.12)^6 \\A=5000(1.9738) \\A= 9869$

the compound interest is $4869

i. the result from g and h, h is over 8 times bigger than g.

j. interest compound annually is not the same as simple interest, only for the case of a and b seeing that it is for 1 year. but for 2years and above there is difference as seen in c to h

A newspaper’s cover page is 3/8 text, and photographs fill the rest. If 2/5 of the text is an article about endangered species,

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cover page

We are given that a newspaper 's cover page is $\frac{3}{8}$ text and photograph fill the rest.

We have to find that how much part of cover's page is the article about endangered species

Text = $\frac{3}{8}x$

Remaining part = $x-\frac{3}{8} x$

Remaining part = $\frac{8x-3x}{8}=\frac{5}{8} x$

Therefore, a newspaper;s cover page fill with Photograph = $\frac{5}{8}$

If the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}$ of text

Therefore, the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3x}{8}=\frac{3}{20}x$

Hence, the article about endangered species is $\frac{3}{20}$ of the cover page.
