Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money
we now that
<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1
and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2
</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks
the answer is
4 weeks
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
19) Amount of oil in = amount of oil in final product
.025(x) + .09(40-x) = .055(40) (x = 2.5% amt 40 - x = 9% amt)
x = 21.54 L of 2.5 % then 9% = 18.46 L
12 years if interest is paid yearly
12 months if interest is paid monthly
Step-by-step explanation:
2.75% of $1500 is $41.25 interest per period
$1995-$1500 = $495 total interest
$495 ÷ $41.25 = 12 periods
Therefore it takes 12 interest periods to reach $1995, so the answer is 12 months or 12 years depending on how often interest is paid.
