<h3><u>The unknown number is equal to 4.</u></h3>

8x - 27 = 5

Add 27 to both sides.

8x = 32

Divide both sides by 8

x = 4

When you buy the bond the exchange rate is $1.50 = pound1. You pay pound45 ($67.50) for the British bond. You sell the bond

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The gain is of $17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

When you buy the bond the exchange rate is $1.50 = £1.

You pay £45 = $1.50\times45$ =$67.50 for the British bond.

No, you sell the bond for £50 and the exchange rate is $1.70 = £1.

So, you earned $50\times1.70=85$ dollars

Your gain is $85-67.50$ = $17.50

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 28 plus a monthly fee of $ 22. Club B offers

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of months then

For Club A fee= 28+22x

For Club B fee= 16+28x

Equating both we get

28 + 22x= 16+28x

28-16= 28-22x

12= 6x

x= 2

So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72
