Answer:

$80,000

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Define the variables</u>:

Let x =  "fish-flavored" chicken company investment (in dollars)

Let y = spray-on vitamins company investment (in dollars)

If Allen invested a total of $100,000:

⇒ x + y = 100000

Given:

  • 3% profit on "fish-flavored" chicken investment
  • 1% profit on pray-on vitamins investment
  • Total profit = $2,600

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01y = 2600

Rewrite the first equation to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 100000 - x

Substitute into the second equation and solve for x:

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01(100000 - x) = 2600

⇒ 0.03x + 1000 - 0.01x = 2600

⇒ 0.02x + 1000 = 2600

⇒ 0.02x = 1600

⇒ x = 80000

Therefore, Allen invested $80,000 in the "fish-flavored" chicken company.

Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree. He walks
irina [24]

The height of tree is 8 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree

At that point, Micah's eyes are 6 feet above the ground  

And he is 9 feet from the image in the mirror.  

To find : height of tree = ?

Let "n" be the height of tree

From the question, we can see there is a directly proportional relationship between heights and distances.

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

\frac{\text { height of micah eyes above ground }}{\text { distance of micah from mirror }}=\frac{\text { height of tree above the ground }}{\text { distance of tree from mirror }}

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{6 \text { feet }}{9 \text { feet }}=\frac{n \text { feet }}{24 \text { feet }}} \\\\ {\frac{6}{9}=\frac{n}{24}} \\\\ {\text { n }=\frac{1}{3} \times 24} \\\\ {\text { n }=8}\end{array}

Hence, the height of the tree is 8 feet
