Answer:

6 dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up and solve an equation to answer this question. For this problem, let x stand for the amount he earned per hour. The equation that represents this situation is 3.2x + 4.3x = 45. The first term represents monday and the second represents tuesday. When these add up they should equal 45 because that is the total amount he made. To find his pay per hour, solve for x.

First, combine the like terms

7.5x=45

Next, divide both sides by 7.5

x=6

The recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75. How much would it cost to serve 24 people?

Leno4ka [110]

If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as

6 people - $9.75,

24 people - $x.

Or as proportion,

$\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{9.75}{x}.$

Find x:

$6\cdot x=9.75\cdot 24,\\ \\x=\dfrac{9.75\cdot 24}{6}=9.75\cdot 4=39.$

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

Population Growth The population of a town of 5000

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

a) $A=5000{(1.03)}^{t}$

b) 5464 inhabitants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for compound interest becomes very helpful in this case.

$A=P{(1+r)}^{t}\\\\When:\\A = Final Value\\P = Initial Value\\r = Rate of Change (Decimal)\\t = Time (Years)$

Knowing this, we can easily calculate the value for any year, counting from the original 5000.

From this formula, we can derive a specific one that will serve for any value of <em>t</em>.

a)

$A=5000{(1+0.03)}^{t}\\A=5000{(1.03)}^{t}$

b) Apply the formula:

$A=5000{(1.03)}^{3}\\A=5000(1.092727)\\A=5463.635=5464$

The town will have 5464 inhabitants.
