divide how much it was reduced ( 5) by the original price(35)

5/35 = 0.14285, now turn that into a percent so about 14.3%

With $35, a member is paying 100%.
Since the reduction is 5%, that means his is paying now 95% of $35,
that means $35 x 0.95 = $33.25, So the decrease in fees is 35-33.25 = $1.75

Another method: the reduction was 5% on the $35 or 5% x 35 = 0.05x35=$1.75

Arisa [49]

Answer:

She will use:

3 tablespoons of pepper

7 tablespoons of garlic powder

$\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoon of thyme

8 tablespoons of onion powder

Explanation:

To double the amount, Stephanie will need to double the amount of each ingredient used. This means that she will multiply each amount by 2

Therefore:

New amount of any ingredient = old amount of that ingredient x 2

This means that:

New amount of pepper = $1\frac{1}{2}*2= 3$ tablespoons

New amount of garlic powder = $3\frac{2}{4}*2=7$ tablespoons

New amount of thyme = $\frac{1}{8}*2=\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoons

New amount of onion powder = $4*2=8$ tablespoons

Hope this helps :)

How much money must be deposited now in an

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$\$487.48$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ A=\$1,000\\ r=7.25\%=7.25/100=0.0725\\n=4$

substitute in the formula above

$1,000=P(1+\frac{0.0725}{4})^{4*10}$

$1,000=P(\frac{4.0725}{4})^{40}$

$P=1,000/(\frac{4.0725}{4})^{40}$

$P=\$487.48$

Question 1

8090 [49]

The correct answer is C. The 13 moose are the individuals. There is one categorical variable and four quantitative variables.

Explanation:

In research, the individuals refer to the participants or population that is being analyzed. For example, if the purpose of the research is to know how many hours highschool students sleep, the individuals are high school students. In this context, the individual or population of this study ae the 13 moose.

Moreover, this research focuses on different variables such as gender, height, the number of hours each moose spends in the water, the weigh of the food eaten on average by each moose, and the average weight of food eaten every day. From these variables, the last four variables are quantitative because they can be measured using numbers, for example, the height is measured in inches. On the other hand, the first variable is categorical because each moose can be classified in only two categories: male or female.
