You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr. Assuming that you obtain a full 5% increase each year, what wil
spayn [35]

Answer:

The equation for the amount of salary after x number of years is given by:

y = a(1+r)^x

where

a is the initial amount

x represents the number of years and

r represents the growth rate( in decimal)

As per the statement:

You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr

⇒ a= 30,000

It is also given that you obtain a full 5% increase each year,

⇒r = 5\% = 0.05

then;

y = 30,000(1+0.05)^x    

y = 30,000(1.05)^x       ....[1]

we have to find the salary in three years.

⇒x = 3

Substitute this value in [1] we have

y = 30,000(1.05)^3

Simplify:

y = \$ 34,4728.75

therefore, your salary be in three years will be $34,4728.75

Ipatiy [6.2K]
<span>If Dingane has $8.00, and thirty percent of that money is from five cent coins, then 8 x 0.3 = $2.40 of Dingane's money is made of five cent coins. In this case the number of five cent coins is the number of cents divided by five: 240/5 = 48. Therefore, Dingane has forty-eight five-cent coins.</span>
