He used five 40-cent stamps and eight 7-cent stamps.

Let x stand for how many 40-cent stamps he applied.

Let y stand in for the quantity of 7-cent stamps he applied.

41 cents = 40/100 = $0.40

7 cents = 7/100 = $0.07

To cover the $2.56 in postage, he uses 40-cent and 7-cent stamps. That implies

0.4x + 0.07y = 2.56

When you multiply something by 100, you get

40x + 7y = 256

7y = 256 -40x

The accompanying x and y values must both be whole numbers in order to satisfy the equation.

If x = 4,

7y = 256 - 40 × 4 = 96

y = 96/7 = 13.71

If x = 5,

7y = 256 - 40 × 5 = 56

Answer:

  97.5% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the percentage change in noise intensity when it is reduced from 88 to 72 dB.

The intensity can be found by solving the given equation for I:

  [tex]\beta_1=10\log\left(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0}\right)\\\\10^{\beta_1/10}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_0}\\\\I_1=I_0\cdot10^{\beta_1/10}[/tex]

Similarly, the reduced intensity is ...

  [tex]I_2=I_0\cdot10^{\beta_2/10}[/tex]

The percentage change is found from ...

  percentage change = (I₂/I₁ -1) × 100%

Using the above expressions for I₁ and I₂, this becomes ...

  [tex]\text{\% change}=\left(\dfrac{I_0\cdot10^{\beta_2/10}}{I_0\cdot10^{\beta_1/10}}-1\right)\times100\%\\\\=(10^{(\beta_2-\beta_1)/10}-1)\times100\%=(10^{(72-88)/10}-1)\times100\%\\\\=(10^{-1.6}-1)\times100\% \approx -0.975\times100\% =\boxed{ -97.5\%}[/tex]

The noise intensity decreased by about 97.5%.

Answer:

97.49% (2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]\beta=10 \log\left(\dfrac{I}{I_0}\right)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{\beta}{10}= \log\left(\dfrac{I}{I_0}\right)[/tex]

Switch sides:

[tex]\implies \log\left(\dfrac{I}{I_0}\right)=\dfrac{\beta}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Apply log law}: \quad \log_ab=c \iff a^c=b[/tex]

[tex]\implies 10^{\frac{\beta}{10}}=\dfrac{I}{I_0}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by I₀:

[tex]\implies I=I_010^{\frac{\beta}{10}}\\[/tex]

Substitute the given value of I₀:

[tex]\implies I=10^{-12} \cdot 10^{\frac{\beta}{10}}\\[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^b \cdot a^c=a^{b+c}:[/tex]

[tex]\implies I=10^{\left(\frac{\beta}{10}-12\right)}\\[/tex]

Therefore, the value of I when β = 88 dB is:

[tex]\implies I=10^{\left(\frac{88}{10}-12\right)}\\[/tex]

[tex]\implies I=10^{-3.2}[/tex]

And the value of I when β = 72 dB is:

[tex]\implies I=10^{\left(\frac{72}{10}-12\right)}\\[/tex]

[tex]\implies I=10^{-4.8}[/tex]

Percent Decrease formula

[tex]\sf Percent\:decrease=\dfrac{original\:value-new\:value}{original\:value} \times 100[/tex]

Therefore, the percent decrease is:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{10^{-3.2}-10^{-4.8}}{10^{-3.2}} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies 97.4881135...\%[/tex]

[tex]\implies 97.49\%\; \sf (2\; d.p.)[/tex]

There are 188 ways to pick one ace and next card as not a queen.

There are 4 aces in a normal 52 card deck, and once one is picked, there are 51 cards left.

If we want to pick two successive cards from a normal 52 card deck so that the first is an ace and the second is not a queen, we can use the following formula:

Number of ways = (number of aces) x (number of cards not a queen)

In this case, the number of aces is 4, and the number of cards not a queen is 47 (52 cards total - 4 queens - 1 ace that has been picked).

So the number of ways to pick two successive cards from a normal 52 card deck so that the first is an ace and the second is not a queen is 4 x 47 = 188.

The length of one string of lights in feet is closest to 23 feet.

The problem states that students plan to decorate the school's flagpole with strings of lights. One end of each string of lights will be attached to the top of the flagpole, and the other end will be attached to the ground.

The flagpole is 15 feet tall and the distance from the base of the flagpole to the ground is 8 feet. Since the string of lights is attached at the top of the flagpole and at the ground, the length of the string of lights is equal to the height of the flagpole plus the distance from the base of the flagpole to the ground.

Therefore, the length of one string of lights can be calculated by adding the height of the flagpole (15 feet) to the distance from the base of the flagpole to the ground (8 feet), which results in:

15 feet + 8 feet = 23 feet

So the length of one string of lights is 23 feet.

The time taken to cover the distance from the park to house with an average speed of 22km /h is 42 minutes.

Average speed is the directional speed of an object in motion as measured by a certain unit of time and seen from a particular point of reference. Average speed is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that investigates how bodies move.

Since average speed is a physical vector quantity, its magnitude and direction must be included in the definition. In the SI, speed is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s), where speed is the scalar absolute value (distance) of average speed (metric system). The word "acceleration" describes a change in an object's speed, direction, or both.

we know that

distance = average speed × time

distance = 14×66/60 =15.4 km

Michael wants to place grass on the side of his lap pool, the area of the shaded region that he wants to cover with grass is 204 square yard.

We have to determine the area of the Shaded region that he wants to cover with grass.

By calculating the overall area and taking the area of the lap pool out, the area of the shaded area may be calculated.

We can see that the shape is the trapezium. So;

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × distance between them

Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + (3 + 12) yd

Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + 15 yd

Sum of parallel sides = 40 yd

Distance between them = 12 yd

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × 40 × 12

Area of the trapezium = 40 × 6

Area of the trapezium = 240 square yd

Now finding the area of lap pool.

Area = length × width

Area = 12 × 3

Area = 36 square yd

The length of the ladder is 22 feet.

Let x = the height the ladder reaches on the wall.

Then 3x = the length of the ladder.

Substituting 15 for the foot of the ladder from the wall, we have:

15 + 3x = the length of the ladder

7 = 3x

x = 7/3

Substituting 7/3 for x in the equation 15 + 3x = the length of the ladder we have:

15 + 3(7/3) = the length of the ladder

15 + 7 = the length of the ladder

22 = the length of the ladder

The length of the ladder can be determined by first figuring out how high the ladder reaches on the wall. Let x equal the height the ladder reaches on the wall. Then, the length of the ladder, 3x, can be determined. Since the foot of the ladder is 15 feet from the wall, the equation 15 + 3x = the length of the ladder can be written. In this equation, 7 is the known value for 3x, since the ladder is 7 feet less than three times longer than the height it reaches on the wall. Therefore, x = 7/3. Substituting 7/3 for x in the equation 15 + 3x = the length of the ladder, the equation 15 + 3(7/3) = the length of the ladder can be written. Simplifying this equation, 15 + 7 = the length of the ladder can be written, which means the length of the ladder is 22 feet.

A short-run economic event like a recession is more likely to have aggregate demand rather than aggregate supply as its main cause.

The theory used in this question is the Keynesian Theory of Income and Expenditure,

It asserts that total spending (C + I + G + X - M) equals total output (Y), where C represents consumption, I represents investment, G represents government spending, X represents exports, and M represents imports.

Step 1: In order to solve for G, we must first recall the equation for calculating Gross Domestic Product (GDP):

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)

Step 2: We have five of the six variables given in the equation and can solve for G by rearranging the equation to solve for G.

GDP - C - I - (X - M) = G

Step 3: Substitute the given values for each of the variables in the rearranged equation, starting with GDP.
