Thaddeus shakes his head as he pays $12.37 to the clerk for lunch. Complaining to a friend, Thaddeus says, “Do you realize that

is 0.2% of my monthly income?” His friend replies, “I think you made a mistake. That should be 2%. You messed up on the decimal point.” (a) Assuming Thaddeus is not wrong, what is his monthly income? (b) If Thaddeus’ friend is correct, what is Thaddeus’ monthly income?

Pretty simple question, just set up the equation.
A) say Thad is right then equation is as follows:
X * 0.002 = 12.37
Where X is monthly income.
So to solve for X just divide 12.37 by 0.002 (0.2%)
6185$ per month. Which no offense to Thad, but means he’s probably some kind of software engineer or investment banker if he’s making that much a month. (Unlikely for Thad)

B) if he’s wrong then just set up again
X * 0.02 = 12.37
Where x = monthly income
So x= $618.5
More likely given he’s complaining about a 12$ lunch when inflation has the yelp one ($) sign restaurants charging 15 or 16 just for a meal with tip and tax.
Anyways my rant aside hope this helps.

Since 2010, when 102390 Cases were reported, each year the number of new flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year. Predict th
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

20,158 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t=0 represent year 2010.

We have been given that since 2010, when 102390 Cases were reported, each year the number of new flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year.

Since the flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year, so the flu cases for every next year will be 85% of last year and decay rate is 15%.

We can represent this information in an exponential decay function as:

F(t)=102,390(1-0.15)^t

F(t)=102,390(0.85)^t

To find number of cases in 2020, we will substitute t=10 in our decay function as:

F(10)=102,390(0.85)^{10}

F(10)=102,390(0.1968744043407227)

F(10)=20,157.970260446597\approx 20,158

Therefore, 20,158 cases  will be reported in 2020.
