W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

What is the difference between the exact simple interest and the ordinary simple interest on a 200-day loan of 5,000 at 12%
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

  4.56

Step-by-step explanation:

"Ordinary" interest will be more than "exact" interest because the number of days in a year is a smaller value. The difference will be ...

  Io = Prt = 5000(0.12)(200/360) = 333.33

  Ie = Prt = 5000(0.12)(200/365) = 328.77

The difference is ...

  333.33 -328.77 = 4.56 . . . the difference in interest values

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The question asks for the difference between exact and ordinary interest, so the result is technically negative:

  328.77 -333.33 = -4.56

How many different numbers are possible?
Artyom0805 [142]

Each of the first 3 letters can be chosen from the 23 letters, {A, B, C, …, U, V, W}, so there are 23³ possible choices.

The first 2 digits can be any number from {0, 1, 2, …, 9}, so there are 10² choices.

The last digit cannot be 0 or 9, so you can select from {1, 2, 3, …, 8} which gives 8 choices.

Then the total number of PINs that you can make is

23³ × 10² × 8 = 9,733,600

Alisiya [41]

Answer: Choice C) There are 3000 milliliters in 3 liters

mL is the abbreviation for milliliters

L is the abbreviation for liters

Since 1000 mL = 1 L, we can multiply both sides by 3 to get 3000 mL = 3 L
