Answer: Joe's weekly allowance = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf

Let a = his weekly allowance

This means Joe spent a/2 playing mini-golf.

To earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6

This means Joe's total money

= a + 6

What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12?

This means he had $12 left after spending a/2 from ta total of (a +6)

Therefore,

(a +6) -a/2 = 12

Taking LCM of 2

[2(a+6)-a]/2=12

Cross multiplying by 2

2a + 12-a = 24

a+12 =24

a = 24-12 =$12

Joe's weekly allowance = $12

Please help!Your fixed expenses are $1,151.65/month. You saved 4 months' worth in an emergency fund, investing 25% in a savings
FinnZ [79.3K]
4 x 1,151.65 = 4,606.60 
<span>This is invested in two accounts. Twenty-five percent is invested in savings (4,606.60 x 25% = 1,151.65). The remainder is invested in a CD (4,606.60 - 1,151.65 = 3,454.95) </span>

<span>Interest accrued for savings. *Note: The interest rates given are for a full year, but you want to calculate interest for only 60 days. </span>
<span>1,151.65 x 0.033 x 60/360 = $6.33 </span>
<span>Interest accrued for CD </span>
<span>3,454,95 x 0.043 x 60/360 = $24.76 </span>
<span>Total interest accrued </span>
<span>6.33 + 24.76 = $31.09 </span>

<span>Note: 0.033 and 0.043 = 3.3% and 4.3%. Also, the 360 day year is normally used when doing these types of problems.</span>

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.<br>A. 36<br>B. 30<br>C. 54<br>D. 60
STatiana [176]

Answer:

54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is trigonometry. So we are given the adjacent leg and hypotenuse. So we can use cosine(cah from soh cah toa)

We will have to use the inverse of the trig ratios.

Remember!

cos^-1 is not 1/cos(that is sec)

cos^-1(27/46)

acos(27/46)

54.0586701 and so on

Round to nearest degree 54

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -x + 7
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y= -x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is parallel to another line if their slope is the same. In this case the slope is -1 (-x is basically -1x). So far we have y=-x+b (We dont know what b is yet). next we can insert the coordinate back into the equation y=-x+b where 1 is the y and -4 is the x.

We get...

y= -x+b

1= -(-4)+b

1=4+b

b=-3

Our final equation is y=-x-3

Hope this helped
