If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.

Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.

This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%

Answer:

P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can me modelled with an exponencial formula:

P = Po * (1+r)^t

Where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate and t is the amount of time.

In this problem, we have that the inicial population/value is 27000, the rate is -8/9 (negative because the population decays), and the time t is in months, so as the rate is for every 4 months, we use the value (t/4) in the exponencial.

So, our function will be:

P(t) = 27000 * (1-8/9)^(t/4)

P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)

Blababa [14]
Brett makes $510

First you’ll have to multiply $500 by 0.020 (you have to convert 20%) and you’ll get 10. You then add the 10 to 500 to get $510

Milly wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form. What is the value of c in her equation?
zysi [14]

Answer:

c = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 is in standard form

By comparison of the coefficients of the terms, c = - 7
