Answer: 17.25 dollars</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
15% of 15 = 0.15*15 = 2.25
The cost has increased by $2.25 which means the cost per kilogram is now 15+2.25 = 17.25 dollars
------------
As a slight shortcut, we can multiply the old cost (15) by the multiplier 1.15 to get the same result:
1.15*15 = 17.25
This method allows us to chain together many percentage increases, and it also allows us to include percentage decreases as well. Note how 1.15 is basically the result of 100% + 15% = 1.00+0.15 = 1.15
This is question of geometric sequence, equation of growth for this matter. The explicit formula for geometric sequence is given by:
a(n) = a(0)r^(n-1)
where;
a(n) = population after time "n"
a(0) = Initial population = 65
n = time = 5 weeks
r = common ratio = (100+30)% = 1.3
Substituting, beetles after 5 weeks will be;
a(5) = 65*1.3^(5-1) = 185.65 ≈ 186 beetles
Answer:
$1064.20
Step-by-step explanation:
36 payments of $168.45 have a total of $6064.20. The excess over the loan amount of $5000 is the interest paid:
$6064.20 -5000 = $1064.20 . . . . interest paid
