Answer:

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be x

Then Ali got 1/8x With 7/8x left

Juma got 7/40x with 7/10x left

Musa, Khalid and Mustafa got 7/30x each

since \frac{7}{30}x=600

7x=18000

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

Find the area and the perimeter of the shaded region
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

area: 41.04 cm² ; perimeter 35.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of shaded area = 1/4 perimeter of circle + line AC = ¼ * 3.14 * 2 * 12 + √(12² + 12²) = 18.84 + 12√2 cm = 35.8 cm

Area of Shaded Region = 1/4 area of circle - area of triangle = ¼ * 3.14 * 12² - ½ . 12 * 12

= (¼ * 3.14 - ½) * 12² = 41.04 cm²

STatiana [176]
Use compound interest formula:
Future value, F 
25000=P(1+i)^n
where
P=present value to be found
i=annual interest rate = 0.065
n=number of years = 6
so
25000=P(1.065)^6
=>
P=(25000/1.065^6)=$17133.353
