Answer:

The money invested in the account of gain was x = $ 9,000

The money invested in the account of loss was y = $ 8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Monica invested a total T = $ 17,000 in two of her accounts.

- Take the money invested in account A today = x

- Take the money invested in account B today = y

- The total money invested today is:

                      x + y = 17,000   ... Eq1

- After one year, the amount in each categorized by the following statement:

    " The first account earned a rate of return of 14% (after a year) "

- The amount in account A after a year would be = ( 1 + gain/100 )*x

                                                                                 = ( 1 + 14/100)*x

                                                                                 = ( 1 + 0.14 )*x

                                                                                 = 1.14x

The account B:

    " the second account suffered a 9% loss in the same time period "

- The amount in account B after a year would be = ( 1 - loss/100 )*y

                                                                                 = ( 1 - 9/100)*y

                                                                                 = ( 1 - 0.09 )*y

                                                                                 = 0.91*y

- The total amount of money in two accounts after one year would be:

                Total money after a year = 1.14x + 0.91*y

- Given that the gain in one year was G = $540

               G = Total money after one year - Total invested

               540 =  [ 1.14x + 0.91*y ] - 17,000

               17,540 =  1.14x + 0.91*y   .... Eq 2

- Solve the two equations Eq1 and Eq2 simultaneously:

                x + y = 17,000

               1.14x + 0.91*y = 17,540

====================================

             x = $ 9,000 , y = $ 8,000

====================================

- The money invested in the account of gain was x = $ 9,000

- The money invested in the account of loss was y = $ 8,000

Use fraction strips to help.
MatroZZZ [7]
Sorry, I didn't use fraction strips but,

2. 2/4

3. 4/6

4. 6/8

5. 1 is equivalent to 3/3 based on this problem so the answer is 1/3

6. 6/10

7. 2/4

8. 2/6

Hope this helped even without fraction strips! :)

Al has twice as many cards as Bob, and Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. Together, they have 372 cards. How many cards
Musya8 [376]

Answer: Bob has 62 cards.

All has 124 cards.

Jane has 186 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cards that Bob has.

Al has twice as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that All has is 2x.

Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that Jane has is 3x.

Together, they have 372 cards. It means that

x + 2x + 3x = 372

6x = 372

x = 372/6

x = 62

The number of cards that Al has is

2 × 62 = 124

The number of cards that Jane has is

3 × 62 = 186
