A farm orders x horse shoes for its horses. The farm does not order extras and all the horses will get new horse shoes. Apply the k-to-1 rule to determine the number of horses on the farm. Express your answer as a function of x. You should not need the ceiling or floor functions.

Here,

x/4

Then the  

k-to-1 rule.

Suppose there is a k-to-1 correspondence from a finite set A to a finite set B. Then |B| = |A|/k.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
