The library at a certain university reported that journal prices had increased by 160% over a period of 10 years. The report con

cluded that this represented a price increase of 16% each year. If journal prices had indeed increased by 16% each year, what percentage increase would that give over 10 years? (Round your answer as a percentage to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

  • report author's interpretation: 160%
  • report reader's interpretation: 341%

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you work with percentages, <em>you need to understand what the base quantity is</em>.

By saying that an increase of 160% over 10 years is an increase of 16% per year, the report's author has effectively said the base being used is the price in the first year.

When a reader of the report reads that the prices has increased 16% per year, the usual assumption would be that the base is the previous year's price. That is the assumption you're asked to make when you're asked to compute the result of an increase of 16% per year.

Under the assumption that the increase is 16% year on year, the multiplier over a period of 10 years is ...

  (1 +16%)^10 ≈ 4.411

So, the increase is ...

  (new -original)/original × 100%

  (4.411 -1)/1 × 100% = 341.1%

The percentage increase in 10 years from a 16% year-on-year increase would be 341%.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Since the journal prices did indeed increase 16% each year (on average, based on the original price), the actual increase over 10 years is 160%, not 341%. Expressed as a year-on-year increase, that increase of 160% would average about 10.03% per year.

The safety instructions for a 20 foot ladder say the ladder should not be inclined more than 70 degrees with the ground. suppose
Romashka [77]

Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is shown in the attached photo.

Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.

AC = the height of the ladder

AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder

BC is the wall of the building.

To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse

Where

# = 70 degrees

Hypotenuse = 20

Adjacent = x

Cos 70 = x/20

x = 20cos70

x = 20 × 0.3420

x = 6.84 feets

PLS HURRY RATING BRAINLIEST !!!!!
storchak [24]
The form f(x) = a(bx) equals a. The initial value of the function f(x) = a(bx) is always a. This is due to the fact that an is not reliant on x. As a result, if x changes, bx will change as well, but a will not.

...

Simple Interest Example:

Simple Interest

1 Year S.I = (1000 ×5 × 1)/100 = 50

2 Year S.I = (1000 × 5 × 2)/100 = 100
