Apples = $.30
Peaches = $.60

You can get this by setting up a system of equations that looks like this.

2x + 3y = 1.65
3x + 2y = 1.60

Where x is the amount of apples and y is the number of peaches. Then you can solve using any of the methods (I would suggest elimination for ease).

A company provides a monthly pension to its employees. A person retiring at 62 retires and receives a full monthly pension. If t

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

<em><u>The reduction is 8.6%</u></em>

Explanation:

Call F the full monthly pension of a person retiring at 62.

If a person continues to work the pension grows at a rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly, so use the compounded growing formula:

$Pension=F(1+r/12)^{12t}$

Where r = 6 / 100 = 0.06, and t = number of years after retirement.

<u>For retirement at 65.5</u>:

t = 65.5 - 62 = 3.5

$Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 3.5}=1.233F$

<u>For retirement at 67</u>:

t = 67 - 62 = 5

$Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 5}=1.349F$

<u>Percent reduction of people who retire at 65.5 compared to what they would receive at 67</u>:

$(1.349F-1.233F)\times 100/(1.349F)=8.6\%$
