Carnie had an income of $29,520 last year. If the inflation rate is eight percent, what is her current purchasing power? Round to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Last year purchasing power assuming no inflation = $29,520
Current purchasing power = $29,520 - 8% = $29,520 x (1 - 0.08) = $29,520 x 0.92 = $27,158.40
Therefore current purchasing power is $27,158 to the nearest dollar.
Answer 2
Answer:

Her current purchasing power round to the nearest dollar is $27158

Percent inflation rate

Inflation is an increase in the purchasing power of an individual. Given the following parameters

Carnie's income last year = $29,520

If the inflation rate is eight percent, then her current purchasing power is expressed as:

Current purchasing power = 0.92 * $29,520

Current purchasing power = $27158.4

Her current purchasing power round to the nearest dollar is $27158

What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 12?

Answers

This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2
xy=44\n x+y=12\n\n xy=44\n x=12-y\n\n (12-y)y=44\n 12y-y^2=44\n y^2-12y+44=0\n y^2-12y+36+8=0\n (y-6)^2=-8

No solutions in real numbers.

In complex numbers:
(y-6)^2=-8\n y-6=-√(-8) \vee y-6=√(-8)\n y=6-2\sqrt2 i \vee y=6+2\sqrt2 i\n\n x=12-(6-2\sqrt2i) \vee x=12-(6+2\sqrt2i)\n x=12-6+2\sqrt2i \vee x=12-6-2\sqrt2i\n x=6+2\sqrt2i \vee x=6-2\sqrt2i

These numbers are 6-2\sqrt2i and 6+2\sqrt2i.

Step-by-step explanation: The way I do it, Just add a zero to your weight. If you want to maintain the weight that you are. If you want to lose weight you should take in fewer calories


Veronica is buying cubed cheese from Mr. Sands deli she asked for 1 3/4 pounds when Mr. Sand places some cheese in a container and weighs it the scale shows 1 1/4 pounds the container weighs 1/16 pound how many more pounds of cheese would Mr. Sand need to add to the scale to get the amount that veronica asked for? Explain how you solved the problem

Answers

Amount of cubed cheese that Veronica wants to buy = 1 3/4 pounds
                                                                                     = 7/8 pounds
Weight of the container in which Mr. Sand places the cube = 1/16 pounds
Weight of the cubed cheese and container together = 1 1/4 pounds
                                                                                    = 5/4 pounds
Then
Amount of cubed cheese placed by Mr. Sands = (5/4 - 1/16) pounds
                                                                            = (20 - 1)/16 pounds
                                                                            = 19/16 pounds
So
The quantity of more cheese that
Mr.Sands need to add to the scale = (7/4 - 19/16) pounds
                                                         = (28 - 19)/16 pounds
                                                         = 9/16 pounds.
From the above deduction we can easily conclude that Mr. Sand needs to add 9/16 pounds of cubed cheese to fullfil the order placed by Veronica.

Answer: 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the answer to the hidden question: How much cheese did Mr. Sand put in the container without the weight of the container? We can rename 1 1/4 to 1 4/16, so 1 4/16 - 1/16 = 1 3/16

Now we must find the amount of cheese that needs to be added. We can rename 1 3/4 to 1 12/16 by multiplying it by 4/4. 1 12/16 - 1 3/16 = 9/16

9/16 pound of cheese should be added to get the amount Veronica asked for.
