The width of the path is 4 meters.

<h3>How to find the width of the path?</h3>

The pool is measuring 8 meters by 26 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width.

The area of the pool and the path combined is 544 square meters.

Therefore, The dimensions of pool are 8 meters and 26 meters as it is surrounded by a path of uniform width, let the width be x meters and

the dimensions of the pool and the path combined will be

8 + 2x and  26 + 2x and as area is 544 m²

, the equation is

(8 + 2x)(26 + 2x) = 544

208 + 16x + 52x + 4x² = 544

4x² + 68x - 544 + 208 = 0

4x² + 68x - 336 = 0

4(x² + 17x - 84) = 0

x² + 17x - 84 = 0

Hence,

(x - 4)(x + 21)

Therefore,

x = 4 and x = -21

As width of path cannot be negative, it is 4 meters.

Answer:

  • money market: $1000
  • stock: $238,500
  • mutual fund: $228,500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x and y represent the amounts invested in the stock and mutual fund, respectively. Then the amount invested in the money market account was (468000 -x -y). Two relations can be written.

  x = y + 10000 . . . . . 10,000 more was invested in stock than in mutual funds

  0.035(468000-x-y) +0.04(x) -0.03(y) = 2720 . . . . first-year return

Collecting terms in the second equation gives ...

  0.005x -0.065y +16380 = 2720

  -x + 13y = 2732000 . . . . . . subtract 16380, multiply by -200

  12y -10000 = 2732000 . . . . substitute for x using the first equation

  y = 2742000/12 = 228,500 . . . . solve for y

  x = 228,500 +10,000 = 238,500 . . . . . find x from the first equation

  468,000 -x -y = 468,000 -467,000 = 1,000 . . . . find the money market amount

__

Pierre invested $1000 in the money market account, $238,500 in the stock, and $228,500 in the mutual fund.
