Answer:
$3.60.
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5 = x + 20% of x
4.5 = x + 0.2x
1.2x = 4.5
x = 3.75
You can solve this analytically to get
.. 55000*(1 +x/100)^10 = 108193
.. (1 +x/100)^10 = 108193/55000
.. 1 +x/100 = (108193/55000)^(1/10)
.. x = 100*((108193/55000)^(1/10) -1) ≈ 7.00
but I find it just as fast to have a graphing calculator do it.
The city's population is increasing 7% per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given problem is to find nearest number,
= 8888888/2915
quotient = 3049
remainder= 1053
Now, 2915-1053 = 1862
8888888+1862 = 8890750
8888888-1053 = 8887835
Two numbers nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915 is 8887835 and 8890750
