I can only give possible combination of the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, then the 3 specific numbers would have been derived.
We need to do prime factorization of 72.
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2= 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 1 = 1
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
Possible combinations:
1 x 8 x 9 = 72 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x 9 = 72 2 + 4 + 9 = 15
3 x 4 x 6 = 72 3 + 4 + 6 = 13
The easiest way to calculate this, since you don't need to know what the discount is, if the decrease is 4% you still have 96%.
Multiply 29,000 x .96= $27,840.
If you do it the other way, .04 x 29000= 1160. Then subtract 29000-1160=27850.
Answer:
The length of PQ is <u>18</u> feet.
The length of PR is <u>18</u> feet.
The length of QR is <u>24</u> feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
A way to set an equation up for this problem is:

where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.
Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:

Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the
part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:

Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).
Sorry for the long explanation.
But hope this helps and answers your question :)

then she turns around and grabs those 4329.73 and put them in an account getting 8% APR I assume, so is annual compounding, for 7 years.

add both amounts, and that's her investment for the 11 years.
Take note that they spent $18 afterwards having $28 on the card so they're spending money off the card so...
x-18=28
would be the equation for this and to solve do the following.
First add 18 to both sides making the equation.
x=46
