Answer:

The answer is $23.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the strategy, we have to understand when the cost increases. We can see the problem with two costs:

  1. Base cost
  2. Variable cost

The base cost is the interval of the first three hours. If you park 1, 1.5 or 2.2 hours, you will pay $3 for each hour.

The variable cost is the interval after the first three hours. If you park 4.5 hours, you will pay the base cost more two hours (1.5 extra hours rounded to 2 hours).

So the strategy is to separate the first three hours and the remained. The remained has to be rounded to the next whole number.

The cost is:

C=3*h+7*e

C: total cost of the parking garage

h: first three hours

e: extra hours (after the first three hours)

In this case:

h=3

e=2

C=3*3+7*2

C=9+14

C=23

Finally the total cost is $23.

Hi!

When you add a negative number, you really just subtract it. So let's solve this.

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

\frac{434}{9} - \frac{351}{9}

Solve

434 - 351 = 83

\frac{83}{9}

The sign of this fraction is positive

Hope this helps! :)

Invest $6,300 in two different accounts the first account paid 11% the second account paid 6% in interest at the end of the year
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: he invested $5300 at 11% and $1000 at 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in the first account paying 11% interest.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in the second account paying 6% interest.

He Invest $6,300 in two different accounts the first account paid 11% the second account paid 6% in interest. This means that

x + y = 6300

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the first account paying 11% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 11℅

I = (x × 11 × 1)/100 = 0.11x

Considering the second account paying 6% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 6℅

I = (y × 6 × 1)/100 = 0.06y

At the end of the year, he had earned $643 in interest , it means that

0.11x + 0.06y = 643 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6300 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.11(6300 - y) + 0.06y = 643

693 - 0.11y + 0.06y = 643

- 0.11y + 0.06y = 643 - 693

- 0.05y = - 50

y = - 50/ - 0.05

y = 1000

x = 6300 - y = 6300 - 1000

x = 5300
