11.50-3.00=8.50
some of the pieces of pottery were sold at 11.50 and some of the pieces of pottery were sold at 8.50.

let x = number of pieces of pottery sold at 11.50.
let y = number of pieces of pottery sold at 8.50.

since a total of 99 pieces of pottery were sold, and since the total revenue collected was 931.50, you get the following equations.

x + y = 99
11.50 * x + 8.50 * y = 931.50

the first equation says that the total number of pieces of pottery sold was 99.

the second equation says that the total money collected was 931.50, when x were sold at 11.50 and y were sold at 8.50.

these two equations need to be solved simultaneously.

we'll solve by elimination.

multiply both sides of the first equation by 11.50 and leave the second equation as is to get:

11.5 * x + 11.5 * y = 1138.5
11.5 * x + 8.50 * y = 931.5

subtract the second equation from the first to get:

3.00 * y = 207

divide both sides of that equation by 3 to get y = 69.

since x + y = 99, this means that x has to be equal to 30.

your solution is that x = 30 and y = 69.

this means that the number of pieces of pottery sold at 11.50 is 30 and the number of pieces of pottery sold at 8.50 is 69.

30 * 11.50 + 69 * 8.50 is equal to 931.50.

solution looks good.

they sold 30 at the original price and 69 at the reduced price.

1. An account is opened with a balance of $2800earning 4.25% simple interest. What will be thebalance in the account in 30 years
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$6370

Explanation:

The simple interest formula gives us the final amount A given the principal amount P:

A=P(1+rt)

where r is the interest rate and t is the time interval.

Now in our case we have

P = 2800

r = 4.25/100

t = 30 years

therefore, the above formula gives

A=2800(1+\frac{4.25}{100}\cdot30)

which simplifies to give

\boxed{A=\$6370}

Hence, the account balance after 30 years will be $6370.
