$16.67 would be the price of each pencil. You divide 50 by 3 and get 16.6 repeating so you round it up to 16.67
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
7 apples = 4.55
To find the single cost of an apple, divide 4.55 by 7
4.55/7 = 0.65 per apple
Let's check to see if this is right.
0.65 x 7 = 4.55 = correct
0.65 x 9 = $5.85 for 9 apples
Answer:
it changed 21 Fahrenheit
Step-by-step explanation:
-14.8 - 6.2 = -21
and minus + minus = +
so, -14.8 + 21 = 6.2
i think so that is the right answer
