Where n is the number of shares and P is the share price, then:

M= \frac{50*104 + 100*25.25+ 20*9.125}{50+100+20} \\ M= \frac{7907.5}{170}\\M= 46.514

Manuel borrowed a total of $4000 from two student loans. One loan charged 4% simple interest and the other charged 3.5% simple i
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

Explanation:

We have given total amount borrowed = $4000

Let x amount is borrowed at a rate of 4%

So $4000-x is borrowed at rate of 3.5%

Total interest = $150

We know that simple interest =\frac{principal\ amount\times rate\times time}{100}

So \frac{x\times 4\times 1}{100}+\frac{(4000-x)\times 3.5\times 1}{100}=150

4x+14000-3.5x=15000

0.5 x=1000

x = 2000

So the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

And principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000
