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

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Greatest: Denmark

Least: U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density is calculated by dividing the population by the area.

U.S.

Population density = 272,648,000/9,364,520 = 29.1

Denmark

Population density = 5,248,000/42,077 = 124.7

Ghana

Population density = 18,339,000/237,533 = 77.2

Greatest: Denmark

Least: U.S.
