A recent report has shown that Nike's sneaker supply of the Air Jordan 1 was at 300,000 pairs in 2016. Because Nike wanted the Jordan 1 to be more of a rare shoe, the supply
of pairs started decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. At this rate, how many pairs of
Jordan 1s will be in production in the year 2030?

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
