For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

3x + 4y = 24 (Spending all the money in your wallet)

x + y = 7 (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

x = 7-y

Substituting in the first equation:

3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

x = 7-3\\x = 4

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. If one angle of a triangle measures x and the second angle measures (5x +19)º
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

third angle = (-6x + 161)°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° = (x)° + (5x + 19)° + third angle →

180° = (6x + 19)° + third angle →

180° – (6x + 19)° = (6x + 19)° + third angle – (6x + 19)° →

180° – (6x + 19)° = third angle →

180° + -(6x + 19)° = third angle →

180° + (-6x)° + (-19)° = third angle

180° – 6x° – 19° = third angle

(180° – 19°) – 6x° = third angle

161° – 6x° = third angle

third angle = 161 – 6x°

third angle = -6x° + 161°

third angle = (-6x + 161)°

Safia opens a new savings account with a 2.25% simple interest rate. She deposits $3,500 and earned $3,696.88 total (with intere
Art [367]

Answer:

The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88

P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question

R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question

T is the time which we are to find

we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;

T = 100I/PR

substituting the values listed above we have;

T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)

T = 19688/7875

T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months
