Two student clubs were selling t-shirts and school notebooks to raise money for an upcoming school event. In the first few minut

es, club A sold 3 t-shirts and 2 notebooks, and made $19. Club B sold 1 t-shirt and 1 notebook, for a total of $8. Use the given matrix equation to solve for the cost of t-shirts and notebooks that were sold. Explain the steps that you took to solve this problem.
A matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns, where row 1 is 3 and 2 and row 2 is 1 and 1, is multiplied by matrix with 2 rows and 1 column, where row 1 is x and row 2 is y, equals a matrix with 2 rows and 1 column, where row 1 is 19 and row 2 is 8.

Using a system of equations, it is found that the cost of a t-shirt is of $3 and the cost of a notebook is of $5.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: Cost of a t-shirt.
  • Variable y: Cost of a notebook.

Considering the costs of the purchases of Clubs A and B, the matrices give the equations as follows:

  • 3x + 2y = 19.
  • x + y = 8 -> y = (8 - x).

Hence, replacing the second equation into the first:

3x + 2(8 - x) = 19

x = 3.

y = 8 - x = 8 - 3 = 5.

The cost of a t-shirt is of $3 and the cost of a notebook is of $5.

Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If clare doesn't
AVprozaik [17]

We have been given that Clare made $160 babysitting last summer. She put the money in a savings account that pays 3% interest per year. If Clare doesn't touch the money in her account, she can find the amount she'll have the next year by multiplying her current amount 1.03.

We are asked to write an expression for the amount of money Clare would have after 30 years if she never withdraws money from her account.

We will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

An exponential growth function is in form y=a(1+r)^x, where

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time.

3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03

We can see that initial value is $160. Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

y=160(1+0.03)^x

y=160(1.03)^x

To find amount of money in Clare's account after 30 years, we need to substitute x=30 in our equation.

y=160(1.03)^{30}

Therefore, the expression 160(1.03)^{30} represents the amount of money that Clare would have after 30 years.
