Answer:
$3,000 was invested in the account that gained 13%
$17,500 was invested in the account that lost 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount in both accounts be x and y
x for the first and y for the second
Adding both is 20,500
x + y = 20,500 •••••(i)
First account earned 13% profit
= 13/100 * x = 0.13x
Second account, a loss of 10%
= -10/100 * y = -0.1y
Total loss of -1,360
This is;
-0.1y + 0.13x = -1,360 •••••••(ii)
From i, x = 20,500-y
Insert this into ii
-0.1y + 0.13(20,500-y) = -1,360
-0.1y + 2665 -0.13y = -1360
-0.23y = -1360-2665
-0.23y = -4025
y = -4025/-0.23
y = 17,500
To get x, we have
x = 20,500 -y
x = 20,500- 17,500
x = 3,000

'is' in mathematics means the equal sign
'of' in mathematics means the multiplication sign
the number can be any variable you chose it to be
Divide both sides by 28
Multiply by 100 on both sides to isolate 'x'
14 is 28% of 200
Answer:
M = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, apply the distributive property to the problem. For this, you will multiply 4 x m, then 4 x 3.
Now, your problem looks like
4m + 12 = 18
Next, you need to get the variable isolated. For this, you need to subtract 12 from both sides.
Now, your problem looks like
4m = 6
Next, you can divide both sides by the non-constant term, which is 4m, so divide by 4.
Now, your problem looks like
M = 1.5
