The answer to number 1 is 2/9 of her paycheck. The answer to number 2 is 3/5. Its square is 9/25 which is in between 1/3 and 1/2. It's reciprocal is 5/3 which is in between 1 and 2. It is also in simplest form.
First translate the question into an equation.
"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.
So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.
Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.
Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.
So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
Answer:
$10000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks and bonds.
She earned 15% on bonds and 18% on stocks
Let the bonds be denoted by a
However, her profit on both types of investment is said to be $8700
We are to find how much of the $50,000 did she invest in bonds.
i.e
0.15a + 0.18(50000-a) = 8700
open brackets
0.15a + 9000 - 0.18a = 8700
Collect like terms
0.15a - 0.18a = 8700 - 9000
-0.03a = -300
Divide both sides by(-0.03); we get
a = 10000
Thus, Molly invested $10000 in the bonds.
Answer:
