X + y = 56 ------------------(1)
x:y = 5:3
x/y = 5/3
3 x = 5 y
so, x = (5/3)y---------------(2)
sub (2) in (1)
x + y = 56
(5/3)y + y = 56
5 y + 3 y = 168
8 y = 168
y = 168 / 8 = 21
x = (5/3) x 21
= 35
the value of x - y = 35 - 21
= 14

Answer:

Janelle will make 62 baskets on 14th day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of goals on 1st day = 10

We need to find the number of goals on 14th day.

Solution,

Since Janelle made 10 goals on 1st day and want to make 4 more basket from the day before.

So we can say that;

$a_1=10$ and $d=4$

And also $n=14$

here $a_1$ = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Now we apply the formula of A.P.

$T_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

now substituting the given values, we get;

$T_{14}=10+(14-1)4\\\\T_{14}=10+13\times 4\\\\T_{14}=10+52 =62$

Hence Janelle will make 62 basket on 14th day.

Answer:

Part A) The percentage increase was $6.1\%$

Part B) Michael is financially better off this year than last year

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

we know that

Using proportion

Let

x-----> the percentage increase

$\frac{100\%}{33,000}=\frac{x\%}{35,000-33,000}\\ \\x=2,000*100\%/33,000\\ \\x=6.1\%$

Part B) Compare the percentage increase with the inflation

$6.1\%>5\%$

The percentage increase is greater than the inflation

therefore

Michael is financially better off this year than last year
