Answer:

24 candies originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 4 to how many you had left, then think about that number, 16, and what goes into 16 evenly 2 times? 8 and originally she gave away 1/3 of the box and if you were to add another 8 to the box it would be 24 divided by 1/3, -,-4,= 12.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angel lives 3 3/4 blocks to the east of school

Tyrone lives 7 1/4 blocks to the west of Tyrone

Nadeem lives 8 blocks to the east of Tyrone.

Determining each of their homes in terms of distance from school :

Angel = 3 3/4 blocks from school

Tyrone = 7 1/4 blocks to the west of angel

Hence, distance from school will be :

7 1/4 - 3 3/4 = 3 1/2 blocks to the west of school

Nadeem = 8 blocks to the east of Tyrone :

Distance from school will be:

8 - 3 1/2 = 4 1/2 to the east of school.

Hence, 3 1/2 to the west of school is the closet distance of the three.

Hence, Tyrone lives closest to school

Avery and Caden have saved $27,000 towards a down payment on a house. They want to keep some of the money in a bank account that
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

They should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information that Avery and Caden have saved $27000.

Let <em>x</em> is the money deposit in the bank and <em>y</em> is the money deposit in stock fund.

Therefore,

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 27000

<em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>

The bank account will pay 2.4% annual interest.

\frac{2.4}{100}x+x=1.024x

Stock fund pays 7.2% annual interest.

\frac{7.2}{100}y+y=1.072y

Therefore,

1.024 <em>x</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

Substitute the <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em> in above equation.

1.024 (27000 − <em>y</em>) + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

27648 − 1.024 <em>y</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 28620

0.048 <em>y</em> = 28620-27648

0.048 <em>y</em> = 972

<em>y</em> = 20250

Now, substitute the <em>y</em> = 20250 in <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>.

<em>x</em> = 27000 − 20250

<em>x</em> = 6750

Hence, they should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.
