How can I divide by zero?

1 answer:

7 0

I don't think that is even possible :|

I was taught that dividing by zero is undefined. Dividing 1 by 0 means 1/0 which makes no sense at all.

But all I'm saying is that we can't divide by zero.

Try this 0/0 does it make sense to you? Nah that is indeterminate.

You invested money in two funds. Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 8% and the second a dividend of 5%, and you receiv

Angelina_Jolie [31]

You invested 11000 in in 2st fund and 9000 in 2nd fund

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, You invested money in two funds.

Last year, the first fund paid a dividend of 8% and the second a dividend of 5%, and you received a total of $1330.

This year, the first fund paid a 12% dividend and the second only 2%, and you received a total of $1500.

Let the amount in Fund I be $x and amount in Fund II be $ y

Then, for last year ⇒ 0.08x+0.05y=1330 ----- eqn (1)

And for this year ⇒ 0.12x+0.02y=1500 ------- eqn (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 ⇒ 0.16 x + 0.1 y = 2660

Multiply (2) by 5 ⇒ 0.6 x + 0.1 y = 7500

Subtract the two equations

(2) ⇒ 0.6x + 0.1y = 7500

(1) ⇒ 0.16x + 0.1y = 2660

(-) --------------------------------

0.44x + 0 = 4840

x = 11000

Now, from eqn (2)

0.12(11000) + 0.02y = 1500

0.02y = 1500 – 1320

0.02y = 180

y = 9000

Hence, he invested 11000 in in 2st fund and 9000 in 2nd fund

The sales tax in Mansfield is 8.25% on anything purchased. What is the percent of the original price you will pay? Write your an

Fynjy0 [20]

If the tax was 10%, then you’d end up paying the original 100% plus the additional 10% tax, so you’d pay 110% of the original price.

In your example, it’s the same, except you have 8.25% tax, so you’d pay 100%+8,25% or 108.25% of the original price.
That’s stated as a percent.

To convert a percent to a decimal, you divide by 100:
108.25 ÷ 100 = 1.0825

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you have to know the place value of the smallest place. In this case, the 5 is in the ten thousandths place.
10825/10000

You can always double check that fraction on a calculator.
