Answer: 5.8% = 0.058 in decimal form.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Amount invested at 8 % rate = x = $ 15000
Amount invested at 9 % rate = 34000 - x = 34000 - 15000 = $ 19000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Amount = $ 34000
Let amount invested at 8 % rate = x
Amount invested at 9 % rate = $ 34000 - x
Total interest = $ 2910
291000 = 8 x + 306000 - 9 x
x = 306000 - 291000
x = 15000
So amount invested at 8 % rate = x = $ 15000
Amount invested at 9 % rate = 34000 - x = 34000 - 15000 = $ 19000
first subtract the last equation from the first. this gives:-
-x + y = -8 .....................(1)
Then multiply the first equation by 2 and add it to the 2nd equations This gives
9x = 18
so x = 2
and from equation (1) y = -8 + 2 = -6
Substituting for x and y in the second equation
z = (24 -5(2) -12) / 2 = 1
Answer is choice b.
Answer:
The number of bicycles is 19.
and the number of tricycles is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know that the number of seats in bicycles as well as in tricycles is 1.
The number of wheels in bicycles is 2
and the number of wheels in tricycles is 3.
Let the number of bicycles be x.
and the number of tricycles be y.
Thus using the given information we can make equation as,
x + y = 23
and, 2x + 3y = 50
Solving these two equations:
We get, x = 19 and y = 4
Thus the number of bicycles is 19.
and the number of tricycles is 4.
