Answer: a= 1.21
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This is a compound interest problem
Step 1
The value of the antique after one year is:
100% + 10% of the purchase price
= 110% of 200
=110/100 of 200
=1.10 × 200
Step 2
The value after two years is:
110% of the value after one year
=110% of (1.10 × 200)
=110/100 of (1.10× 200)
=1.10×(1.10×200)
=1.21×200
Step 3
Expressing the above solutionin the form 200a:
= 200× a = 200 × 1.21
|a=1.21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first case we'd subtract 1 from both sides, obtaining |x-1|<14.
In the second case we'd also subtract 1 from both sides, and would obtain
|x-1|>14.
What would the graphs look like?
In the first case, the graph would be on the x-axis with "center" at x=1. From this center count 14 units to the right, and then place a circle around that location (which would be at x=15). Next, count 14 units to the left of this center, and place a circle around that location (which would be -13). Draw a line segment connecting the two circles. Notice that all of the solutions are between -13 and +15, not including these endpoints.
In the second case, x has to be greater than 15 or less than -13. Draw an arrow from x=1 to the left, and then draw a separate arrow from 15 to the right. None of the values in between are solutions.
Answer: In the beginning he was given 27 sweets.
Step-by-step explanation: The most logical thing to do is to solve it backwards, that is, from what he had at the end of the third day up till the beginning of the first day.
On the third day he ate one-third and had 8 sweets left over. To determine how many he started with on the third day, let the total on day three be called a. If one-third of a is eaten, then the left over which is two-thirds is 8. That is;
8/a = 2/3
By cross multiplication we now have
8 x 3 = 2a
24/2 = a
a = 12
Let the number of sweets he had on day two be called b. If he ate one-third of b and he had 12 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 12 and we now have;
12/b = 2/3
By cross multiplication we now have
12 x 3 = 2b
36 = 2b
36/2 = b
b = 18
Let the number of sweets he had on day one be called x. If he ate one-third of x and he had 18 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 18, and we now have;
18/x = 2/3
By cross multiplication we now have
18 x 3 = 2x
54 = 2x
x = 27
Therefore Tim was given 27 sweets at the beginning.
