Answer:

Answer: (B) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

20x + 15(2x) + 10(3x) = 40

20x + 30x + 30x = 40

80x = 40

x = 40/80

x = 1/2

Find the amount of lobster

Lobster = x = 1/2 pound

Find the amount of crab:

Crab = 2x = 2(1/2) = 1 pound

Find the amount of Shrimp:

Shrimp = 3x = 3(1/2) = 3/2 pounds

Find the total pounds of seafood:

Total = 1/2 + 1 + 3/2 = 3 pounds

Answer: (B) 3

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of
Fantom [35]
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.

5. Amy deposited $7,000 in a bank account earning 3.5% interest, compounded
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $7,000

Interest = 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

A = 7000(1 + \frac{0.035}{n})^{nt}
