You find 7% of $45.79 and then add that on to $45.79
7% of $45.79 = $3.21
45.79 + 3.21 = 49
The new price is $49
The 6 at the end is the remainder
Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.
<h3><u>Half life</u></h3>
Given that the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years, and a scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 57.5% of their carbon-14, to determine how old were the bones at the time they were discovered, the following calculation must be made:
- 50 = 5750
- 100 = 11500
- 57.5 = X
- 57.5 x 11500 / 100 = X
- 6612.5 = X
Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.

first subtract the last equation from the first. this gives:-
-x + y = -8 .....................(1)
Then multiply the first equation by 2 and add it to the 2nd equations This gives
9x = 18
so x = 2
and from equation (1) y = -8 + 2 = -6
Substituting for x and y in the second equation
z = (24 -5(2) -12) / 2 = 1
Answer is choice b.
Answer:
25 ≥ 0.90b + 2m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of each banana = $0.90
Cost of each mango = $2
Total amount = $25
Find:
Inequality
Computation:
Assume;
Number of banana = b
Number of mango = m
Total amount ≥ Cost of total banana + Cost of total mango
25 ≥ 0.90b + 2m
