You basically just split it right down the middle. if the cost of something is lets say $75.58, then you would divide 75.58 by 2, which is $37.79
hope it helps!!
Writing the problem as an equation you have:
2x+6 > -16
Solve for x:
2x+6 > -16
Subtract 6 from each side:
2x > -22
Divide both sides by 2:
x > -11
The answer is: x > -11
1/2, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, etc.
Step-by-step explanation:
Clearly, there is a common difference between the monthly employment rates:
8.7% - 8.9% = -0.2%
8.5% - 8.7% = -0.2%
8.3% - 8.5% = -0.2%
a) So, for every month x, the percentage will go down 0.2%, starting at 8.9%. So, we can make this equation:
y = -0.2x + 9.1, where x = 1 would be October 2011.
January 2013 is 16 months after October 2011, so:
y = -0.2(16) + 9.1
y = 5.9%
b) To find when the unemployment rate will be zero, we set the equation equal to zero:
0 = -0.2x + 9.1
-0.2x = -9.1
x = 45.5 months
So, rounding up, the U.S. would reach a zero unemployment rate in 46 months or around September 2014? Not completely sure.
Answer:
4 years and 2 months
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple interest formula</u>
A = P(1 + rt)
where:
- A = final amount
- P = principal amount
- r = interest rate (in decimal form)
- t = time (in years)
Given:
- A = $500 × 2 = $1,000
- P = $500
- r = 24% = 0.24
Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for t:
Therefore, it takes 4 years and 2 months for the initial investment of $500 to double at a simple interested rate of 24%.
