Answer:

Crafts books: 7

Cookbooks: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the crafts book

Let y be the cookbooks

Solve for x:

Plug x and y in: x + y = 20
Re-write: y = x + 6
Plug in x + 6 instead of y: x + x + 6 = 20
Combine like terms: 2x + 6 = 20
Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2x = 14
Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 7

Solve for y:

Re-use an equation from above: y = x + 6
Plug in the value of x: y = 7 + 6
7 + 6 = 13
So, y = 13

I hope this helps!

10. There are 355 students at Median Middle School. If there 8% of the students were absent on Tuesday, how many students were a

Setler79 [48]

To solve this question, we simply need to divide the total amount of students by 8% to find out how many students were absent and how many were present.

However, we can't simply multiply it by 8%, so we need to turn that into a decimal.

8% - 0.08

Multiply:

355 x 0.08

= 28.4

Round:

28 kids were absent

Subtract:

355 - 28

= 327

This means that 28 kids were absent, and 327 kids were present.

How much money should a student place in a time deposit in a bank that pays 1.1% compounded annually so that he will have Php 20

STatiana [176]

Let us say that:
P = present value
F = future value
i = interest rate
n = period

P = F / [ (1 + i ) ^n ]
P = 200000 / [ (1 + 0.011) ^6 ]
P = 187293.65

Therefore the student must put up Php 187,293.65
