A garden table and a bench cost $714 combined. The garden table costs $64 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answers

Answer:

The bench costs $325

Step-by-step explanation:

let garden table = x

let bench = y

x = y+64

x+y = 714

y+y+64 = 714 (we know, x = y+64)

2y + 64 = 714

2y = 650

y = 325

Answer:

Bench: $325

Garden Table: $389

Step-by-step explanation:

g + b = 714      Eq. 1

g = b + 64        Eq. 2

g = cost of the garden table

b = cost of the bench

Replacing Eq.2 in Eq.1

(b+64) + b = 714

2b + 64 = 714

2b = 714 - 64

2b = 650

b = 650/2

b = 325

from the Eq. 2

g = b + 64

g = 325 + 64

g = 389

Check:

from the Eq. 1

g + b = 714

389 + 325 = 714

What is the random sample?

A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen.

The keyword is at least, this means anything under that number will not qualify.

So that leaves 68 out of the 100 sample students.

So if you want to have the same thing but with 1,500 students.

Take off the 2 zeros at the end of 1500 and multiply by 68 to get your answer.

12 76 80
15 70 95

Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table.
Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?
Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Answers

The answers are as follows:

What is data?

Data is information that has been translated into a form that is efficient for movement or processing.

1. By substituting the values x= 1, 2, 3..

We get the point where f(x)= g(x)

So, f(5)= g(5) =2

Hence, the value of x is 5.

2. As per the given data, during year 14,

revenue from online ads is approximately $4.2 million, whereas revenue from online ads is double than revenue from printed ads.

Also, both line intersect inbetween 7 and 8th year and both online ads and printed ads generated an approximate revenue of $2.2 million.

3. Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.

So, rate of erosion = 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.

and,  Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.

So,  rate of buildup = 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.

Hence,  Dunes beach gets 5 feet every year, and every 5 years the beach loses 25 feet.

b) From the table, beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).

c) If the rate remains constant then there is no same width cause of decrease in western beach and increase dunes beach.

It should be noted that the value of 597 subtracted from 884 is 287.

How to illustrate the subtraction?

The information is simply that we should subtract 884 and 597 and also illustrate it.

This will be:

884 - 597 = 287.

A word problem illustrating this is that a man had 884 pens and gave 597 pens to his friends. How many pens does he have left?

This will be:

= 884 - 597 = 287

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

Subtract 6x on both sides.

Combine 2x and −6x to get −4x.

Add 20 to both sides. Any value plus zero results in its same value.

Divide both sides by −4.

John deposits a certain amount that is compounded continuously at 8% interest. Find the number of years it takes to double the amount.

Answers

Answer:

  about 8.66 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of account value when interest is compounded continuously is ...

  k = e^(rt)

where r is the annual interest rate, and t is the number of years.

Setup

We want to find t when k=2 and r=0.08. Putting these values in the formula gives ...

  2 = e^(0.08t)

Solution

Taking logs of both sides, we have ...

  ln(2) = 0.08t

  t = ln(2)/0.08 = 0.693147/0.08 ≈ 8.66

It takes about 8.66 years to double the amount.

__

Additional comment

If the interest rate is expressed in integer numbers of percentage points (R%), then the doubling time is ...

  t = 100·ln(2)/R ≈ 69.3147/R

Here, that is 69.3147/8 ≈ 8.66.

The "rule of 72" is used to estimate the doubling time for periodically compounded interest at rate R%. That rule tells you the time is t ≈ 72/R. For most interest rates and compounding frequencies in a reasonable range, this gives a time within a reasonable amount of error.

For continuously compounded interest, we have shown the doubling time in years is 69.3147/R. (The exact value of the constant is 100·ln(2).) For the purpose here, a constant of 69.3 gives an estimate accurate to 3 sf.
