Answer:
The answer is 2.375.
Step-by-step explanation:
17 / 8 = 2.125.
2 / 8 = 0.25.
2.125 + 0.25 = 2.375.
When rounding 2.619 to the nearest whole the answer would be 3
David sold 60 bottles and Sammy sold 100 bottles. x(5+3)=160; 5x+3x=160; 8x=160; 8x/8=160/8; x=20; 20(5+30); 100+60=160
Assuming the price of the pool does not change, then
Additional interest required is 4500-3750=750
using
I=Pit, we set up equation
750=3750*0.055*t
Solve for t
t=750/(3750*0.055)=3.64 years.
So will need to wait 3.64 years, or rounded up to 4 years.

Define the two numbers
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be y.
------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 14 ------------------ (1)
2x + y = 31 ------------------ (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1) x 2
------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 4y = 28 ---------------(1a)
------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1a) - 2
------------------------------------------------------------
3y = 28 - 31
3y = -3
y = -1
------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (1)
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2(-1) = 14
x -2 = 14
x = 14 + 2
x = 16
------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x =16, y = -1
