Answer:

Age of Alice=25 years

Age of Jane=20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the age of Jane is 80 % of the age Alice.

We have to find the age of Jane and Alice.

Let x be the age of Alice

According to question

Age of Jane=80% of Alice=80% of x=\frac{80}{100}\times x=\frac{4x}{5}

x+\frac{4x}{5}=45

\frac{5x+4x}{5}=45

\frac{9x}{5}=45

x=\frac{45\times 5}{9}=25

Age of Alice=25 years

Age of Jane=\frac{4}{5}\times 25=20 years

Age of Jane=20 years

What is 40 /6 in fraction
Serhud [2]
Well I'm assuming that you want me to simplify the fraction 40/6. Since 40 can go into 6 multiple times, this fraction is going to be a mixed number.
40/6 in simplest form is 6 2/3. Hope I helped!

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that n = 4

10 years, so t = 10

9% interest, so r = 0.09

There is $300.00 in the account, which means that A = 300

How much did Maureen earn doing odd jobs?

This is P.

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

300 = P(1 + \frac{0.09}{4})^{4*10}

(1.0225)^{40}P = 300

P = \frac{300}{(1.0225)^{40}}

P = 123.19
