This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
Look it up on the internet youll find the answer there i am only learining about adding integers right now
The answer is C. You shouldnt cheat and actually learn though it will help you in the future.
The common denominator for 25 and 20 would be 100
25 x 4 = 100
20 x 5 = 100
Rewrite 14/25 as 14 x 4 / 25 x 4 = 56/100
Rewrite 11/20 as 11 x 5 / 20 x 5 = 55/100
14/25 is greater than 11/20
14/25 > 11/20
