Answer: 19 birds were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Let y represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Nicole found a record showing that there were a total of 40 birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that

x + y = 40

The animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Nicole noticed that the shelter spent $283.00 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that

5.5x + 8.5y = 283 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5.5(40 - y) + 8.5y = 283

220 - 5.5y + 8.5y = 283

- 5.5y + 8.5y = 283 - 220

3y = 63

y = 63/3 = 21

x = 40 - y = 40 - 21

x = 19

Colin invests £2350 into a savings account. The bank gives 4.2% compound
marin [14]

Answer:

Answer:

£3692

Step-by-step explanation:

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

Where,

A = future value

P = principal = £2350

r = interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042

n = number of periods = 1(annual)

t = time = 4 years

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

= 2350(1 + 0.042/1)^1*4

= 2350(1 + 0.042)^4

= 2350(1.042)^4

= 2350(1.5789)

= 2770.42

A = £2770.42

Total years = 10

Remaining years = 10 – 4

= 6 years

Remaining 6 years

P = £2770.42

r = 4.9% = 0.049

n = 1

t = 6

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

= 2770.42(1 + 0.049/1)^1*6

= 2770.42(1 + 0.049)^6

= 2770.42(1.049)^6

= 2770.42(1.3325)

= 3691.59

A = £3691.59

Approximately £3692

Thank you!

Please help on number 2?!?!?
Rainbow [258]
Basically, the higher the price an item is the more you will be taking off of it if it is 10 percent off. For example, at $50, 10 percent off is $5, but at $55, it’s $5.50. There is more to take away, making the final price less than the original. Hope that make sense!

You have invested $5000 in stocks and bonds. The interest you earned on the stocks was 7%. The interest you earned on the bonds
Sphinxa [80]
Money invested S + B = $5000 - - - - (a)
Money earned can be represented in S & B as follows:
0.07*S + 0.14*B =$500 - - - - (b)

Equations a & b are two equations with two unknowns.

From equation a:
S = 5000 - B
Replace S in equation b
0.07*(5000 - B) + 0.14*B =$500
0.07B = 500 - 350 = $150
B = 150/0.07 = $2142.86
S = 5000 - 2142.86 = $2857.14

Good luck
