Answer:

$500 and $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total investment = $2500

also, this total is split into two different funds

Lets represent these funds as a and b, such that fund a yields a profit of 3% and fund b yield a profit of 5%

So,

a + b = x

a + b =  2500   ......eq 1

Profit from each fund gives;

0.03 a + 0.05b = 115     ....eq 2

Solve simultaneously using substitution method

From eq 1;

b = 2500 - a

Slot in this value in eq 2

0.03a + 0.05 (2500 - a) = 115

expand

0.03a + 125 - 0.05a = 115

collect like terms

0.03a - 0.05a = 115 - 125

-0.02a = -10

Divide both sides by -0.02

a =  $500

Put this value of a in eq 1

500 + b =  2500

Subtract 500 from both sides

b = 2500 - 500

b = $2000

In order to estimate the height of a building, two students stand at a certain distance from the building at street level. from
enyata [817]
Let h represent the height of the building. Then the difference between the two angle measurement locations is
.. h/tan(39°) -h/tan(50°) = 300 ft
.. h = (300 ft)/(1/tan(39°) -1/tan(50°))
.. h ≈ 758 ft

The height of the building is about 758 feet.

x, y, a, and b are positive integers. When x is divided by y, the remainder is 6. When a is divided by b, the remainder is 9. Wh
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y + b > 15

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

positive integers = x, y, a, b

x divided by y then remainder = 6

a divided by b then remainder = 9

to find out

possible value for y + b

solution

we know that here when  x divided by y then remainder is 6

its mean y is greater than 6 and when a divided by b then remainder is 9

so its mean b is greater than 9

and we know remainder is less than divisor

so here y + b must be greater than = 6 + 9

y + b > 15
