Mean number simply means average.
Answer: 3.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that Chanasia has 8.75 gallons of paint and that she wants to use 2/5 of the paint to paint her living room.
The gallons of paint that Chanasia will use be gotten by multiplying 2/5 by 8.75 gallons. This will be:
= 2/5 × 8.75 gallons
= 0.4 × 8.75 gallons
= 3.5 gallons.
This means that Chanasia will use 3.5 gallons to paint her living room
----- ÷ 7 = 8 ⇒ ---- = 8 × 7 =56 so the answer is 56 :D
Answer:
$4000
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming a = money invested at 9%
Assuming b = money invested at 8%
then we can form am equation from the question given
1) a + b = $10000, also
0.09a + 0.08b = $860 -> multiply by 100
2) 9a + 8b = $86000
Next we try to solve both equations simultaneously. We multiply both the left hand side and the right hand side of the first equation by 8. We have
3) 8a + 8b = $80000, now we subtract 3 from 2
9a + 8b = $86000
-8a - 8b = -$80000
a = $6000.
Then, we plug this in any of the first 2 equations, to get b
9 * $6000 + 8b = $86000
$54000 + 8b = $86000
8b = $86000 - $54000
8b = $32000
b = $32000/8
b = $4000.
Therefore, he invested $4000 at 8%
