Sales of a certain product are declining at a rate proportional to the amount of sales. If at the end of the first year the sales have declined by 22%, then how many years will have passed (since the beginning of the first year) when sales become only 31% of their original value? Express your answer as a decimal, correct to within 0.001 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "6.093 years".

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of decline in sales in [tex]22\%[/tex] per year.

The starting sales is 100 units:

Using compounding formula:

[tex]\to 100 \times (1-\frac{22}{100})^t=22\% \ of \ 100\\\\\to 100 \times (\frac{100-22}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100} \times \ 100\\\\\to (\frac{78}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100}\\\\\to 0.78^t=0.22\\\\\text{taking \log on both the sides}\\\\[/tex]

taking log on both sides

[tex]\to \log_e \ 0.78^t= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t \log_e \ 0.78= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t = \frac{\log_e 0.22}{\log_e 0.78}\\\\[/tex]

      [tex]= \frac{-0.6575}{-0.1079}\\\\= \frac{0.6575}{0.1079}\\\\=6.093[/tex]

A class has three fewer girls than boys. If the ratio of girls to boys is four to five, how many students are there in the class?

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls = boys - 3

girls / boys = 4/5

Substitute (boys - 3) in for girls

boys - 3 / boys = 4/5            Cross multiply

5(boys - 3) = 4* boys            Remove the brackets

5boys - 15 = 4boys               Subtract 5 boys from both sides.

-5boys          -5boys

- 15   = - boys                       Multiply both sides by - 1

15 = boys

Girls = boys - 3

girls = 15 - 3

girls = 12

Total 15 + 12

total = 27

A pipe 11/15 liters of tub in 22/45 minutes what is its flow rate in terms of liters per minute

Answers

Answer:

3/2 liters/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 11/15 liters by 22/45 minutes:

 11

------

 15

-----------

 22

-----

 45

This is equivalent to:

11      45

----- * -----  =  3/2 (liters/min)

15      22

The flow rate of the pipe is 3/2 (or 1.5) litres per minute.

To calculate the flow rate of the pipe, we divide the volume of water (in litres) by the time taken (in minutes).

Given:

Volume of water = 11/15 liters

Time taken = 22/45 minutes

Flow rate = Volume / Time

Flow rate = (11/15) liters / (22/45) minutes

To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:

Flow rate = (11/15) x (45/22) liters/minutes

Simplifying the expression:

Flow rate = 495/330 litres/minutes

The fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 165 in this case:

Flow rate = (495/165) / (330/165) litres/minutes

Flow rate = 3/2 liters/minutes

Therefore, the flow rate of the pipe is 3/2 (or 1.5) litres per minute.

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-8,11) and
and (4, 7/2)?

A) y = -5/8x + 6
B) y = -5/8x + 16
C) y = 15/2x - 49
D) y = -15/2x + 71

Answers

Answer:

A) y = -5/8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y`1 / x2 - x1

7/2 - 11 / 4 - (-8)

-15/2  / 12

= -5/8

y = -5/8x + b

11 = -5/8(-8) + b

11 = 5 + b

6 = b

Answer:

Option (A)

y = - 5 / 8 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are

(x', y') = ( - 8, 11 )

(x'', y'') = (4, 7/2)

The equation o line passing through two points is given by

[tex](y - y') = \frac{y'' - y'}{x''-x'}(x-x')\\\\(y - 11)= \frac{\frac{7}{2}-11}{4+8} (x + 8)\\\\y - 11 = \frac{-5}{8}(x + 8)\\\\y -11 = \frac{-5x}{8} - 5\\\\y = \frac{-5x}{8} + 6[/tex]

So, option (A) is correct.  

I have a goal of getting exactly $100. But I have to pay a tax of 10%. How much money do I need to get in order to have exactly $100 after paying tax? Explain your answer please.

Answers

Answer:  $111.11

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's say you earn x dollars.

You pay 10% tax on that, which means you pay 0.10x dollars.

This would drop to x-0.10x = 0.90x which is the amount earned after tax.

So you pay 10% of what you earn, and keep 90% of the rest.

Set this equal to the target $100 you want and solve for x.

0.90x = 100

x = 100/0.90

x = 111.11

Notice that 10% of this is 0.10*x = 0.10*111.11 = 1.11 when rounding to the nearest penny. So you'll pay $1.11 in tax. Therefore, you'd have x-0.10x = 111.11 - 1.11 = 100 left over. So the answer checks out.

Nachelle went to the store to buy some almonds. The price per pound of the almonds is $6.50 per pound and she has a coupon for $4.75 off the final amount. With the coupon, how much would Nachelle have to pay to buy 5 pounds of almonds? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy pp pounds of almonds, assuming at least one pound is purchased.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this will help you mark me as brinalist friend please

The amount paid for the 5 pound of almond by Nachelle is $27.75.

What is meant by the term equation?In its most basic form, an equation is a numerical declaration that demonstrates that two formulas are equal. 3x + 25 = 14, for example, is an equation whereby a 3x + 25 and 14 are 2 expressions separated by a 'equal' sign.

Let 'p' be the number of pounds of almonds purchased by Nachelle.

Let 'c' be the total cost paid.

The cost of per pound of the almonds is $6.50 per pound.

The amount of the coupon is $4.75.

Thus, the equation will be ;

c = 6.50p - 4.75   ......equation.

For number of pounds p = 5.

c = 6.50×5 - 4.75

c = $27.75

Thus, the amount paid for the 5 pound of almond by Nachelle is $27.75.

does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?​

Answers

Given equation of the Circle is ,

[tex]\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25 [/tex]

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

[tex]\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2[/tex]

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

[tex]\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }[/tex]

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle.
