Decrease £16870 by 3% , give your answer rounded 2 decimal places

1 answer:

5 0

To decrease it by 3% we need to fine 97% of it and 97% is the same as 0.97

16870 times 0.97=16363.9

16870 decreased by 3% is 16363.9

I hope I've helped!

Answer:

$\frac{8}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of selecting a girl from students is $\frac{4}{5}$

probability of girl wearing sneaker from girls is $\frac{4}{10}$ or $\frac{2}{5}$

hence, probability of selecting a girl wearing a sneaker will be,

⇒ probability = probability of delecting a girl from students × probability of girl wearing sneakers from girls

⇒ probability = $(\frac{4}{5})( \frac{2}{5})$

⇒ probability = $\frac{8}{25}$

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The hourly charge is $4 per hour for the first 3 hours.

The rate then drops to $2 per hour until the end of the 6th hour.

The hourly rate drops further to $1 per hour between the 6th and 10th hours.

The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph corresponds to the hourly rate for the bike rental.

During the first three hours of the bike rental, the price increases by $4 each hour.

Between the 3rd and 6 th hours, the slope of the graph is 2, which means the hourly rate of the bike rental is $2 per hour.

Between the 6th and 10th hours, the rate is $1 per hour.

After the 10th hour, the price, P, stops increasing. The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

World wind energy generating1 capacity, W , was 371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) $W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

b) Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The world wind energy generating capacity can be modeled by the following function

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which W(t) is the wind energy generating capacity in t years after 2014, W(0) is the capacity in 2014 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of approximately 16.8%.

This means that

$W(0) = 371, r = 0.168$

(a) Give a formula for W , in gigawatts, as a function of time, t , in years since the end of 2014 . W= gigawatts

$W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1+0.168)^{t}$

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

(b) When is wind capacity predicted to pass 600 gigawatts? Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year?

This is t years after the end of 2014, in which t found when W(t) = 600. So

$W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$600 = 371(1.168)^{t}$

$(1.168)^{t} = \frac{600}{371}$

$(1.168)^{t} = 1.61725$

We have that:

$\log{a^{t}} = t\log{a}$

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

$\log{(1.168)^{t}} = \log{1.61725}$

$t\log{1.168} = 0.2088$

$0.0674t = 0.2088$

$t = \frac{0.2088}{0.0674}$

$t = 3.1$

It will happen 3.1 years after the end of 2014, so during the year of 2018.
