When solving systems of equations we have at least two unknowns. A common example of a system of equations is a price problem. F

or example, Jacob has 60 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The coins combined value is $9.45. Find out how many of each (quarters and dimes) Jacob has. What do the unknowns in this system represent and what are the two equations that that need to be solved? Finally, solve the system of equations.

Answer:

a. The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b. The two equations that need to be solved are; q+d=60...equation 1, and

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

c.

Number of dimes, d=37

Number of quarters, q=23

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Derive equation for determining total number of coins.</em>

The total number of coins can be derived using the expression below;

T=q+d

where;

T=total number of coins

q=number of quarters

d=number of dimes

In our case;

T=60 coins

q=unknown

d=unknown

replacing;

q+d=60...equation 1

The unknowns in the equation above are q and d that represent the number of quarters and dimes respectively.

b.

<em>Step 2: Derive equation for determining combined value of coins.</em>

V=(q×Q)+(d×D)

where;

V=total value of the coins

q=number of quarters

Q=unit value of a quarter in dollars

d=number of dimes

D=unit value of a dime in dollars

In our case;

V=$9.45

q=unknown

Q=$0.25

d=unknown

D=$0.10

replacing;

9.45=(0.25×q)+(0.10×d)

9.45=0.25 q+0.1 d

0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45...equation 2

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously</em>

(q+d=60)×0.25 >>>>>>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.25 d=15

                                                 -

(0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45)×1>>>>>>> 0.25 q+0.1 d=9.45

(0.25 q-0.25 q)+(0.25 d-0.1 d)=15-9.45

0 q+0.15 d=5.55

0.15 d=5.55

d=5.55/0.15=37

d=37

Substitute the value of d in equation 1;

q+d=60

and q=37

37+q=60

q=60-37=23

q=23

Angela's monthly disposable income is ​$2 comma 3682,368. She has monthly expenses of ​$2 comma 1272,127 ​(including recreationa
Alchen [17]

Answer:

12.88%

Explanation:

Angela's disposable income $2,368

monthly expenses including recreational expenses ($2,127)

net cash flow $241

after expenses are reduced by $64, her net cash flow will increase to $305

Angela's monthly savings rate = (net cash flow / disposable income) x 100 = $305 / $2,368 = 12.88%

A person's savings rate is how much money they save (do not spend) compared to their total disposable income.

Round Hammer is comparing two different capital structures: An all-equity plan (Plan l) and a levered plan (Plan Il). Under Plan
Dominik [7]

Explanation:

A). The computation of price per share is shown below:-

Debt outstanding ÷ (Stock outstanding of Plan 1 - Stock outstanding of

Plan 2)

= $1,730,000 ÷ (205,000 - 125,000)

= $21.63 per share

B a.) Under equity plan the value is

= Debt outstanding × Stock outstanding of Plan 1

= $21.63 × 205,000 shares

= $4,433,125

B b.) under the levered plan the value is

Price per share × Stock outstanding of Plan 2 + Debt outstanding

= $21.63 × 125,000 shares + $1,730,000

= $2,703,125 + $1,730,000

= $4,433,125

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

B. A loan that is repaid in equal monthly payments for a specific period of time, usually several years.

C. A loan where you have to promise to give the bank your assets if you do not repay the loan.

Explanation:

A Consumer installment loan is also known as a closed end credit. It is a form of loan whereby the consumers are expected to pay back in a regular manner usually monthly over a period of time which could span between one to  about forty years.

The loan is given based on how credit worthy the consumer is. Failure to pay back the loan after the stipulated time frame would result to the seizure of the consumer's property or assets by the lending institution. The lending institution could be a bank. A mortgage loan, and a car loan are examples of consumer installment loans.

A depreciable asset has an estimated 15 percent salvage value. At the end of its estimated useful life, the accumulated deprecia
8090 [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Depreciation is the uniform decrease in the value of an asset over a period until the salvage value is reached.

It is given by :

Annual depreciation expense = (cost of asset - salvage)÷ useful life of the asset

Therefore the accumulated depreciation would not equal the original cost of the asset at the end of its estimated useful life because the salvage value will be deducted from cost of asset under declining-Balance.
