In Zimbabwe the rate of inflation hit 90 sextillion percent in 2009, with prices increasing tenfold every day. At that rate, how much would a $14 wool blanket cost five days later?

Hint: Use the following equation to calculate future price: Future price = (current price) * (inflation rate)^t where t the number of days
in the future.

Instructions: Round your response to one decimal place.

Five days later the wool blanket would cost $ 1,400,000.

Given that in Zimbabwe the rate of inflation hit 90 sextillion percent in 2009, with prices increasing tenfold every day, to determine, at that rate, how much would a $ 14 wool blanket cost five days later, the following calculation must be performed:

Future price = (current price) * (inflation rate) ^ number of days

X = 14 x 10 ^ 5

X = 14 x 100,000

X = 1,400,000

Therefore, five days later the wool blanket would cost $ 1,400,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
