Answer:x = 164686.592598

Step-by-step explanation:

219379.01−x/x = 0.3321

−x+219379.01/x = 0.3321

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x.

−x+219379.01≈0.3321x

−x+219379.01 − 0.3321x = 0.3321x−0.3321x (Subtract 0.3321x from both sides)

−1.3321x + 219379.01 = 0

−1.3321x + 219379.01 − 219379.01 = 0 − 219379.01 (Subtract 219379.01 from both sides)

−1.3321x = −219379.01

−1.3321x/−1.3321 = −219379.01/−1.3321

(Divide both sides by -1.3321)

x = 164686.592598

Answer:

164,686.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Carry out the division, then solve for x.

(219,379.01 - x) / x = .3321 . . . . . given

219,379.01/x -1 = 0.3321

219,379.01/x = 1.3321 . . . . add 1

219,379.01/1.3321 = x ≈ 164,686.59 . . . . multiply by x/1.3321

Rounded to 8 significant digits, the value of x is 164,686.59.

_____

The fractional portion is 7894/13321, which has a very long repeating decimal equivalent.

A person invest $1200 in an account that earns 2% interest compound quarterly. Find when the value of the investment reaches $15

Basile [38]

Answer:

After 11 years the value of the investment reaches $1500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for finding time (when the value reaches certain amount) is:

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A= Future VAlue

P= Principal Value

r= rate of interest (in decimal)

n= no of times investment is compounded

t= time

Putting the values given and finding Time t,

A= $1500

P= $1200

r= 2% or 0.02

n= 4 (compound quarterly)

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$1500= 1200(1+\frac{0.02}{4})^{4t}$

Dividing both sides by 1200 and solving 0.02/4 = 0.005

$1.25= (1+0.005)^{4t}$

$1.25= (1.005)^{4t}$

Since t is in power we take the logarithm ln on both sides.

The rule of logarithm says that the exponent can be multiplied with the base when taking log

$\ln1.25=ln( 1.005)^{4t}\\\ln1.25=4t * ln( 1.005)\\0.22 = 4t * 0.005\\Solving\,\,\\\frac{0.22}{4*0.005} = t\\=> t= 11\, years$

Michael paid $10.11 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 2%. What was the cost before tax?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: $9.91

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.

You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use trigonometric functions

cos 30 = adj. /hyp.

cos 30 = 12 / y

y = 12/cos 30 ≅13.86

tan 30 = opp./adj

tan30 = x / 12

x = 12 tan30 ≅6.93

-2 is a solution because first you subtract 4x then after you get a new equation you move 15 to the left, then you subtract 15 from -1, then you factor the left side, then you divide both sides of the equation by 2
