Answer:

free throws = 6

2 points shots = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we will have 2 incognitas.

x = number of free throws

y = number of shots of 2 points

x(1) + y(2) = 12

he says he made twice as many free throws as 2 points

x = 2y

2y(1) + y(2) = 12

2y + 2y = 12

4y = 12

y = 12/4

y = 3

x = 2y

x = 2*3

x = 6

free throws = 6

2 points shots = 3

Lake has a total of $10,000 to invest in two accounts. One account earns 1% simple interest, and the other earns 10% simple inte
Elza [17]

Answer:

  1. $8000 at 1%
  2. $2000 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...

  0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280

<h3>solution</h3>

Simplifying gives ...

  0.09x +100 = 280

  0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100

  x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09

  10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%

<h3>1.</h3>

$8000 should be invested in the 1% account

<h3>2.</h3>

$2000 should be invested in the 10% account

What is 54 percent as a fraction in simplest form
atroni [7]
54% is 54 out of 100.
There for the numerator is 54 and the denominator is 100.

\frac{54}{100}

Now, both the top and the bottom can be divided by 2. So:

\frac{54~divided~by~2}{100~divided~by~2} = \frac{27}{50}

\frac{27}{50} can't be simplified anymore, therefore, 27/50 is 54% as a fraction.

~Hope this helped :)
