Answer:

D.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the following equations from the information given:

y=x+3 (1)

11x+5y=47 (2)

x is the number of hardback books

y is the number of paperback books

You can replace (1) in (2):

11x+5(x+3)=47

11x+5x+15=47

16x=47-15

16x=32

x=32/16

x=2

Then, you can replace the value of x in (1) to find the value of y:

y=2+3

y=5

According to this, the answer is that Jamal bought 5 paperback books.

suter [353]

Answer:Amount = 10,002.21



Step-by-step explanation:4 x 5 = 20 times


2.-

Principal = 5,000

Interest rate per yr = 3%

Compounded times per yr = 4

Time in years = 5


The formula is amt = p*(1 + r/n) ^ (n*t),

thus

Amount = 5,805.92


3.-

If Time in years = 23.2

then

Amount = 10,002.56


4.-

Principal = 5,000.00

Interest rate per yr = 5.82%

Compounded times per yr = 4

Time in years = 12
