Answer:

60.6%

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of pints sold and y represents the number of gallon sold.  She earns $3.50 for each pint she sells, and $10 for each gallon, she earns $20,000 in all by selling 3,300 containers Hence:

3.5x + 10y = 20000                   (1)

Also:

x + y = 3300                               (2)

We have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously, multiply equation 2 by 3.5 and subtract from equation 1. This gives:

6.5y = 9500

Divide both sides by 6.5

6.5y/6.5 = 8450/6.5

y = 1300

Put y = 1300 in equation 2

x + 1300 = 3300

x = 3300 - 1300

x = 2000

Therefore 2000 pints and 1300 gallons were sold

The percentage of earnings from pints = number of pints sold/ total number sold * 100%

The percentage of earnings from pints = 2000/3300 *100% = 60.6%

sattari [20]

Answer:

D) AIG

Explanation:

We went back in time to 2008 and we are in the middle of the subprime mortgage crisis. This is an example of how mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt obligations worked.

The problem with this scenario is that in order for every company involved to be able to make a profit, the mortgages' interest rates skyrocketed which made it harder for families to pay back their loans. This eventually made the families lose their houses and that was the end to the housing bubble and the whole economy collapsed.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of car washed is 92

So option (a) is correct answer

Explanation:

It is given that 4 workers can wash 80 cars per day

Means initially 80 cars are washed per day

And it is given that rate of car wash is $5 per car

Now price of workers is $60 per day

As per car wash is $5

So number of extra car washed =\frac{60}{5}=12

So total number of car washed = 80 + 12 = 92 cars per day

So option (a) is correct answer
