The answer to this question would be:
<span>The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
</span>
In this problem, there are 9,000 bees and the amount is decreased 5% each year. Decreased 5% would be same as become (100%-5%=)95% each year. Then the function should be like:
f(x)= 9,000 * 95%^ x= 9,000 * 0.95^x
If you put X=2 and X=4 the result would be:
<span>f(2) = 9,000* (0.95)^2= 8122.5 (round up to tenth will be 8120)
</span>f(4) = 9,000* (0.95)^4= 7330.5
I believe this is the complete problem.
<span>Anton bought a picnic cooler. His total bill, with tax, was $7.95. He paid 6 percent sales tax. How much did he pay for the cooler alone without the tax?
The cost of an item is 100% of its price. What number goes in place of ? in the addition problem?
</span>
The answer is the below:
<span>He paid $7.473 without tax because $7.95 x 96% or (0.96) =$7.473</span>

Explanation:
Since we have given that
The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

As we know that,


Now,

and

So,

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.
We can model this situation as a system of linear equation, where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters.

Solving the system of equations, there are 67 nickels and 19 quarters.
