I believe the answer is either 40 or 250.
The larger number is 30.
Set up your equation.
x + y = 25
The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.
The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25
Add 5 to each side to isolate x.
x=30
Answer:
$20
Step-by-step explanation:
$44 - $4 = 40
40 divided by 2=$20
It went up 24c because 25% of 96c is 24c
After 1st year: 250$:100%=x$:116%, 250$*116%=x$*100%, x=(250*116)/100=290$. After 1st year I will have 290$
After 2nd year: 290$:100%=x$:116%, x=(290*116)/100=336.4$. After 2nd year I will have 336.4$
After 3rd year I will have (336.4*116)/100=390.224$
After 4th yr: (390.224*116)/100=452.65984$
After 5th yr: (452.65984*116)/100=525.085$
After- 6th yr: 609.1$, 7th yr: 706.556$, 8th yr: 819.605$, 9th yr: 950.742$
10th yr: 1102.86$, 11th yr: 1279.32$, 12th yr: 1484.01$, 13th yr: 1721.45$,
14th yr: 1996.88$, 15th: 2316.38$, 16th yr: 2687$, 17th yr: 3116.92$
After 18 years I will have 3615.63$.
