Value of peters house has risen 20% a year for the last three years. If the value of peters home three years ago was $120 thousand what is the value now

The value now = $207,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase = 20% per year = 20/100 = 0.2 per year

value 3 years ago = $120,000

interest at year 1:

20% of 120,000

= 0.2 × 120,000 = 24,000

Value at the end of year 1

= initial value + interest

= 120,000 + 24,000 = $144,000

In year 2:

20% of 144,000

= 0.2 × 144,000 = 28,800

Value at the end of year 2:

144,000 + 28,800 = $172,800

In year 3

0.2 × 172,800 = 34,560

Value at the end of year 3:

34,560 + 172,800 = $207,360

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

(2,20) means that the 2 is 2 hours and 20 is 20$. so there both 20$ for 2 hours only the same price. like it says. so, the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same price (20$) for the same amount of time (2 hours).
