Let's say that the value invested in the account with a rate of 8% is "x", then the amount invested in the account with a rate of 12% is:

x+450

To calculate the total interest we need to calculate the interest of each individual account and sum them:

\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{100}\cdot x=0.08\cdot x \\ \frac{12}{100}\cdot(x+450)=0.12\cdot x+54 \end{gathered}

The total interest is the sum of the two expressions above:

\begin{gathered} 220=(0.08\cdot x)+(0.12\cdot x+54) \\ 220=0.08\cdot x+0.12\cdot x+54 \\ 220-54=0.2\cdot x \\ 166=0.2\cdot x \\ 0.2\cdot x=166 \\ x=\frac{166}{0.2} \\ x=830 \end{gathered}

The value invested in the account with 8% interest is 830, the one invested in the account with 12% interest is 1280.

Summer spent $55.60 on clothes before sales tax. If sales tax is 7.5%, what did Summer spend with tax included?  *Add Explanatio

$59.77. Turn the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left two places (7.5 to 0.075). Then multiply the new decimal by the cost (55.60×0.075=4.17). 4.17 would be the total sales tax, so then add it to the price (55.77+4.17=59.77). Hope that helped.

A company recently downsized its number of employees by 30​%. If there are still 70 ​employees, how many employees were there pr
wolverine [178]
Hello there! Given there are 70 employees after downsizing by 30%, let x equal the number of employees prior to the layoffs:

70 would have to be 70% of x.

To find what 70 is 70% of, we can multiply by 100 because 100 is the base denominator:

70 • 100 = 7,000

Given this equation, we can now divide our result by 70 to get what the amount of employees before the layoffs is:

7,000 divided by 70 gives us 100.

x = 100

Now, we can plug our answer in to see if it makes sense.

Does 70/100 represent 70%?

Yes, it does. 70/100 reduces to 7/10, and by adding 3/10 to our 70%, we get the initial amount of employees.

Your final answer: There were 100 employees prior to the layoffs. If you have any extra questions, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
