Question 391175: A container of liquid decreases continuously at a rate of 1.02% per day. If the weight of the liquid starts out at 50 grams, what will its weight, to the nearest tenth gram, be at the end of 19 days? Answer by haileytucki(390) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! At the end of 19 days, =19.38% total will be lost of the solution.
19.38% of 50 grams of the liquid solution=
.1938*50
0.1938*50
Multiply 0.1938 by 50 to get 9.69.
9.69 is lost.
50-9.69
Subtract 9.69 from 50 to get 40.31.
40.3 (to the nearest tenth will be the final weight after 19 days)
