Answer:
Final answer is $4440.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount of money invested in 8% stock = x
Let amount of money invested in 6% stock = y
then total money invested $325.6 gives equation
8% of x + 6% of y = 325.6
0.08x + 0.06y = 325.6
8x + 6y = 32560...(i)
other equation will be x=2y...(ii)
plug (ii) into (i)
8x + 6y = 32560
8(2y) + 6y = 32560
16y+ 6y = 32560
22y = 32560
y=1480
plug y=1480 into (ii)
x=2y=2(1480)=2960
Then total money invested in stocks = x+y= 1480+2960=4440
Hence final answer is $4440.
Answer:
1 : 400,000
Step-by-step explanation:
A map scale is usually represented as a unit fraction, one with 1 in the numerator. It has no units, which is to say that it is the ratio of same units.
It can be found by dividing the map dimension by the ground dimension when both are expressed in the same units.
(8.4 cm) / (33.6 km) = (8.4×10^-2 m) / (33.6×10^3 m) = (8.4/33.6)×10^-5
= 0.25×10^-5 = 1/400,000

<em>Additional comment</em>
Map scales are often expressed using the colon for the ratio unit separator:
1 : 400,000
