Carlos can print a document on an Apricot printer in 4.5 minutes. How long would it take him to print the same document on a sur
e fire printer
1 answer:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Step 1
<u>Find the number of pages printed on an Apricot printer </u>
we know that
The speed of an Apricot printer is 8ppm
so
in 4.5 min
Carlos print
4.5*8=36 pages
step 2
<u>Find the time it takes Carlos to print the same amount of documents on a sure fire printer printer</u>
we know that
The speed on a sure fire printer is 12ppm
so
Divide the total of pages by the speed of the printer
36/12=3 minutes
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
3 minutes

We have been given that Bobby's investment of $225,000 loses value at a rate of 3% per year. We are asked to find the value of the investment after 10 years.
We will us exponential decay function to solve our given problem.
We know that an exponential function is in form , where,
y = Final amount,
a = Initial amount,
r = Decay rate in decimal form,
x = Time.
Let us convert 3% into decimal.
Upon substituting ,
and
, we will get:
Upon rounding to nearest dollar, we will get;
Therefore, the value of the investment after 10 years would be .
So wee need to find x
