answer: it will take Carlos 4 hours to walk 8 miles
take x =initial deposit amount. then make equation:
x+75.5+55.25-25.15-18.65 = 210.85
simplify:
x+86.95 = 210.85
x=210.85 - 86.95
x=123.90
so Initial deposit amount is $123.90
check: 210.85+18.65+25.15-55.25-75.5 = 123.9
123.9 = 123.9
Answer:
"She invested $2500 in 5% account and $5500 in 8% account"
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount invested in 5% account be "x"
So, the amount invested in 8% account would be "8000 - x"
Interest amount is the percentage multiplied by amount invested. So
Interest of 5% account = 5% of x = 0.05x
Interest of 8% account = 8 % of 8000 - x = 0.08(8000 - x)
Total interest is the sum of these 2 expressions that EQUATES to 565 (given). Let's solve for x:

and thus,
"8000 - x" = 8000 - 2500 = 5500
Hence,
She invested $2500 in 5% account and $5500 in 8% account
