Hey there!

To start, let x represent the cost of the mutual fund that earned 9%.

This cost will be represented by the term 0.09x.

Now, let (1200-x) represent the cost of the mutual fund that earned 3% profit, since the two amounts must add up to be 1200, the amount the investor originally invested. 

This cost will be represented by 0.03(1200-x)

Next, because the overall profit of the two mutual funds earned was 78 dollars, you can set up this equation:
0.09x+0.03(1200-x)=78

Now, solve for the value of x:
0.09x+0.03(1200-x)=78
0.09x+36-0.03x=78
0.06x+36=78
0.06x=42
x=700

Therefore, the amount invested in the 9% mutual fund would be $700 dollars.

Hope this helps and have a wonderful day! :)

He invested two unknown amount that add to $1200.
Let the amount invested at 9% be x.
Let the amount invested at 3% be y.

The amounts add to $1200.
x + y = 1200           First Equation

The profit from the 9% part is 0.09x.
The profit from the 3% part is 0.03y.
The two profits add to $78.
0.09x + 0.03y = 78        Second Equation

We have two equations in two unknowns, so we can solve this problem as a system of equations.

x + y = 1200
0.09x + 0.03y = 78

Multiply the first equation by -0.09 and add to the second equation.

-0.09x - 0.09y = -108
 0.09x + 0.03y =   78
----------------------------
             -0.06y = -30

Divide both sides by -0.06

y = 500

Now we substitute 500 into y in the first equation.

x + y = 1200

x + 500 = 1200

x = 700

Answer: The amount invested at 9% is $700

While sitting on a rooftop 95 feet off the ground Mary flicks a twig up and off of the ledge with the initial vertical velocity
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The maximum height of the twig is 96.6 feet off the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the maximum height of the twig,

First, we will determine the height distance covered by the twig after Mary flicks the twig up.

From the question,

Mary flicks a twig up and off of the ledge with the initial vertical velocity of 10 feet per second, that is

the initial velocity of the twig is 10 feet/second

At maximum height, the final velocity is 0

From on the equations of motions for bodies moving upwards,

v² = u² - 2gh

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8m/s² = 32.17 ft/s²)

and h is the height

From the question

u = 10 feet/second

and v = 0 feet/second

Putting the values into the equation

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 10² - 2(32.17)h

0 = 100 - 64.34h

64.34h = 100

h = 100/64.34

h = 1.6 feet

This is the height distance covered by the twig after Mary flicks it up.

Now, the maximum height of the twig will be the sum of the height of the rooftop from the ground and the height distance covered by the twig.

That is,

Maximum height = 95 feet + 1.6 feet

Maximum height = 96.6 feet

Hence, the maximum height of the twig is 96.6 feet off the ground.

Tony needs to create a platform shaped like the diagram with the labeled dimensions.
konstantin123 [22]
<h2>135 cubic feet of concrete are required to create the platform.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of lower step is 6 ft× 3 ft× 1.5 ft

and the dimension of upper step is 6 ft ×(9-3)ft × (1.5+1.5)ft = 6 ft × 6 ft ×3 ft

Therefore concrete are required to make lower step = (6×3×1.5) cubic feet

                                                                                       = 27 cubic feet

and concrete are required to make upper step = (6×6×3) cubic feet

                                                                               =108 cubic feet

<h3>∴(108+27) cubic feet = 135 cubic feet of concrete are required.</h3>
