Answer:

The smaller number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that

The sum of two numbers is 100. The sum of 8 and the larger number is equal to 5 times the smaller number.

Let x and y are two numbers.

Let y is the larger number.

x+y  = 100      eq(1)

y+8 = 5x         eq(2)

From eq(1), we have

y  = 100-x

Putting above eq(3) into eq(2), we have

100-x+8 = 5x

108 = 5x+x

108 = 6x

x  = 108/6

x = 18

Hence, the smaller number is 18.

Answer:

The smaller number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y where x is the smaller number; y\:>\:x.

The sum of the numbers is 100.

x+y=100...(1)

The sum of 8 and the larger number is equal to 5 times the smaller number.

y+8=5x

\Rightarrow y=5x-8...(2)

Put equation (2) into equation (1).

x+5x-8=100

x+5x=100+8

6x=108

x=18

At the end of 8 years, Anna paid $400 interest for a loan. If the simple annual interest rate was 4%, how much did Anna borrow?
antiseptic1488 [7]

$1250

Use the formula i = prt

In this case, we don't know P or Principal amount

i = 400

r = .04 *found by diving 4/100*

n = 8

Set formula to solve for P like: P= i/r(n)

P=400/.04(8)

P= 400/.32

P = 1250
