Eg. the first loan is x, the second loan will be (9,000 - x)

First, we need to make an equation based on the problem
first interest + second interest = 492
5% of x + 6% of (9,000 - x) = 492
<em>This is the equation</em>

Second, solve the equation and find out the value of x (first loan)
0.05x + 0.06(9.000 - x) = 492
0.05x + 540 - 0.06x = 492
-0.01x + 540 = 492
-0.01x = 492 - 540
-0.01x = -48
x = -48/-0.01
x = 4,800

Third, find the second loan
9,000 - x
= 9,000 - 4,800
= 4,200

SUMMARY
The first loan that has interest of 5% is $4,800
The second loan that has interest of 6% is $4,200

Jamie took 2 hour and 30 minutes to reach the because 5:30-3:00=2hours and 30 minutes.Raul took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach state park because 4:30-3:00=1 hour and 30 minutes.Since they went in opposite directions you can add the time to get 4 hour.It would take 4 hours to go from the beach to state park.There speed was 60 miles per hour since 240/60=4/1 mph.

In October flowers cost $1.50 each. The October price was a 20% increase of the September price. What was the price of of the fl
Anvisha [2.4K]

Hey there!!

Let's write $1.5 as 15 / 10

15/10 = 3/2

$3/2

October price = $3/2

Let's take September price as ' x '

If we take a look at the question, we know

October price = 20% of September + September price

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

Of = multiplication

Plug in the values

3/2 = x/5 + x

LCM = 5

3/2 = 6x / 5

Multiplying by 5 on both sides

15/2 = 6x

Dividing by 6 on both sides

15/2 / ( 6 ) = x

15/2 × 1/6 = x

15/12 = x

15/12 = $1.25

The price in September = $1.25

Hope my answer helps!
