Y = 11.5x + 22
y = -13x + 218
when will their balance be the same.....ur basically just subbing in 1 y for the other and u get :
11.5x + 22 = -13x + 218....now we solve for x
11.5x + 13x = 218 - 22
24.5x = 196
x = 196 / 24.5
x = 8 <== they will be the same at 8 weeks
11.5(8) + 22 = 114
-13(8) + 218 = 114
and they will both have $ 114 at 8 weeks <===
The correct answer is: [C]: " $ 1.58 " .

Given:
______________________________________________
$18.99 per 340.23 grams ;
and given:
1 gram ≈ 0.03527 oz (ounces) ;
______________________________________________
Find the unit price per OUNCE (oz).
______________________________________________
Given: $18.99 per 340.23 grams ;
Convert: "340.23 grams" to "ounces (oz)".
Given: "1 gram ≈ 0.03527 oz" ;
340.23 grams = (340.23 * 0.03527) oz. = 11.9999121 (about "12 oz.").
So, $19 / 12 oz. = ? dollars per UNIT OZ. ; =
(19/12) dollars per oz. = (19÷12) dollars per oz. = $ 1.58333 ; which corresponds to: Answer choice: [C]: $1.58 .

The problem statement is not clear regarding which money is invested. We will assume it is the 80% of $8750 that is set aside for future education. That amount is
... 0.80 × $8750 = $7000
If x represents the amount invested at 7%, then the total interest earned is
... (7000 -x)×4% + (x)×7% = 420
... 280 +0.03x = 420
... x = 140/0.03 ≈ 4666.67
$4666.67 was invested at 7%.
$2333.33 was invested at 4%.
I believe that it is B as if you use deductive reasoning, you know that each unit is 0.01, so that means any answers with whole numbers in the multiplication is wrong which leads me to the answer choice B
