Answer:
-1 ..?
Step-by-step explanation: because the lowest number a curve touches is -1
8 divided by 42 = 5.25 which means you spent $5.25 on each ticket
Simplify both sides of the equation
(20)(4)= 4(5x+1)
Simplify
80 = 20x+4
Flip the equation
20x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from both sides
20x+4-4 = 80-4
20x = 76
Divide both sides by 20
20x/20 = 76/20
x= 3.8
There is one solution in this equation
Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900
Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%
method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800
