B because you are looking for an equation in the problem so if it starts at 16 and you are adding 2 gallons per hour you get 16+2x. Then for the other tank you start with 20 gallons and you are loosing 3 gallons per hour so you get 20-3x. To solve the equation you make them = each other so then you have 16+2x=20-3x.
30/78 simplified is 15/39
Answer:
In 50 years there'll be approximately 3582 elephants.
Step-by-step explanation:
If they are decreasing at a rate of 9% per year, it means it's population by year is:
population(0) = 400000
population(1) = population(0)*(100% - 9%) = population(0)*(91%)
population(2) = population(1)*(91%) = population(0)*(91%)*(91%) = population(0)*(91%)²
population(3) = population(2)*(91%) = population(0)*(91%)²*(91%) = population(0)*(91%)³
And so on, so the number of population as years passes is:
population(n) = population(0)*(91/100)^n
In this case we want to know the population of elephants when n = 50, so we have:
population(50) = 400000*(0.91)^50 = 3582.033
In 50 years there'll be approximately 3582 elephants.
Answer:
1.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Last week, the price of oranges at the farmers market was 1.75
This week, the price has reduced by 20%
20% of 1.75 = 0.2 × 1.75 = 0.35
The price of the oranges this week is 1.75 - 0.35 = 1.40
