Let x be the number of Hamburger so, the number of cheeseburger = 544-x

The equation is then 3x = 544-x & x=136

What is the sum of this infinite geometric series

nordsb [41]

You probably know that for $|r|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^\infty ar^i=\dfrac a{1-r}$

Your sum starts at $i=1$ , so it's equivalent to

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^\infty 12\left(\dfrac12\right)^i=\sum_{i=0}^\infty 12\left(\dfrac12\right)^i-12\left(\dfrac12\right)^0=\dfrac{12}{1-\frac12}-12=12$

so the answer is A.

You have invested $5000 in stocks and bonds. The interest you earned on the stocks was 7%. The interest you earned on the bonds

Sphinxa [80]

Money invested S + B = $5000 - - - - (a)
Money earned can be represented in S & B as follows:
0.07*S + 0.14*B =$500 - - - - (b)

Equations a & b are two equations with two unknowns.

From equation a:
S = 5000 - B
Replace S in equation b
0.07*(5000 - B) + 0.14*B =$500
0.07B = 500 - 350 = $150
B = 150/0.07 = $2142.86
S = 5000 - 2142.86 = $2857.14

Good luck

How many ways can a batting order of 9 baseball players be made from a team of 11?

ollegr [7]

Since it's the order you're working out, the order in which you pick the players play a huge role. Thus, this is a permutation question.
Since you're picking 9 people from 11 players, the formula goes like this: $^{11}P_9 = \frac{11!}{(11 - 9)!} = 19958400$ different ways.
