The population of fire ants is increasing at a rate of 15% each month. If there wee initially 26,000 ants in the original colony, how many ants will there be in 32 months?

Answer:

  $48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the marked price of the mower. Then the price with tax is ...

  with tax = p + 7.3%×p = 1.073p

The amount Flicka paid is the amount tendered less the change she received, so is ...

  3×$20 - 7.45 = with tax = 1.073p

To find p, we can divide by its coefficient:

  (3 × $20 - 7.45)/1.073 = p ≈ $48.97

The selling price before taxes was $48.97.

Comment on the problem

If you check the answer, you find the amount with tax is ...

  $48.97 × 1.073 ≈ $52.54481 ≈ $52.54

so the change Flicka would have received would have been $7.46, not $7.45. If the price were $48.98, then the change would have been $7.44. There is no price at which the mower can be marked that will make the total with tax come to $52.55. There is no solution to this problem.

Answer:

$48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid three $20 bills

3 × 20 = $60

She received $7.45 change

60 - 7.45 = $52.55

The mower was for $52.55 with sales tax.

The sales tax is 7.3%.

Before the sales tax (reduce tax).

52.55 × (1-7.3%)

= $48.97

Answer:

it is b

Step-by-step explanation:

The y would = 115.4 and the x would = 182

In a rhombus, all sides are equal.

So for the quadrilateral MNOP to be a rhombus, the given sides have to be equal. THat is

Adding 3x to both sides and addinf 7 to both sides

Now we need to get rid of 7 and for that we do division, that is

Correct option is the second option .
