Inflation causes things to cost more, and for our money to buy less (hence your grandparents saying "in my day, you could buy a cup of coffee for a nickel"). suppose inflation decreases the value of money by 2% each year. in other words, if you have $1 this year, next year it will only buy you $0.98 worth of stuff. how much will $100 buy you in 15 years?

$73.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Inflation rate = 2% = 0.02

Amount = $100

Time = 15 years

Now,

The reduced amount = Amount × (1 - Inflation rate)ⁿ

here, n is the time in years

Therefore,

on substituting the respective values, we get

The reduced amount = $100 × ( 1 - 0.02 )¹⁵

or

The reduced amount = $73.85

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
