Let x be the amount the woman invests in the 15% bond, then the amount she invested in her CD is given by $60,000 - x.

The interest she receives from the 15% bond is given by 0.15x while the interest she receives from the 7% CD is given by 0.07(60,000 - x) = 4,200 - 0.07x

Giving that her total annual interest is $6,000, then

0.15x+4,200-0.07x=6,000 \\  \\ \Rightarrow0.08x=6,000-4,800=1,200 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{1,200}{0.08} =$15,000

Therefore, the amount of dollars she will be able to invest in her CD is $60,000 - $15,000 = $45,000

The weight of an object on the moon varies directly with its weight on the earth. If an object weighing 95 lbs on the moon weigh
Luda [366]
ANSWER

450lb

EXPLANATION

If the weight, m of an object on the moon varies directly as the weight of an object e, on the earth, then we can write the mathematical statement,.
m \propto \: e
We introduce the constant of proportionality to obtain,

m = ke

When, m=95, e=570,

This implies that,

95 = 570k
k = \frac{95}{570}

k = \frac{1}{6}

The equation now becomes,

m = \frac{1}{6} e

We want to find e, when m=2700,

m = \frac{1}{6} \times 2700

m =450lb

Answer:

I think its 4 because all the other ones are adding half of the original number

16-24 adds 8

8-12 adds 4

1-1.5 adds .5

so if it's going to 6 it should be 4 adding 2
