Bob bought some land costing $15,540. Today, that same land is valued at $45,117. How long has Bob owned this land if the price of land has been increasing at 5 percent per year

21.84 years

Step-by-step explanation:

From the compound interest formula;

F = P(1+r)^t 1

ln(F/P) = tln(1+r)

t = ln(F/P)/ln(1+r) 2

Where;

F = Final value = $45,117

P = Initial value = $15,540

r = rate = 5% = 0.05

t = time

Substituting the values into equation 2;

t = ln(45117/15540)/ln(1.05)

t = 21.84542292124 years

t = 21.84 years

It will take Bob 21.84 years

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
