<span>The return for the investment is C, or 15.56%. You add the dividend and the capital gain, $4+$3=$7, and then divide by the initial investment price, or $45. 7/45=.1556, or 15.56%.</span>
Jeff has -15$ his gf faith gives him 7.
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Just do 7 x 5 = 35.............
Answer:
18. 3.3years
Step-by-step explanation:
18. 20,000 - (20,000 - .15x) = 10,000
