Answer:

Mike had 14 slice of bread in his loaf while

Joey had 8 slice of bread in his loaf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that a sandwich is made up of two slice of bread.

that is :

A Sandwich = 2 Slice of bread

and for bologna to be in a sandwich, you will have 2 slice of bread together.

So, For Mike,

2 slice of bread × 5 Sandwich = 10 Slice of bread

Remaining Slice of bread = 4 Slice

Total Slice of bread in Mike loaf = 10 + 4

= 14 slice of bread was in Mike loaf of bread.

For Joey

A sandwich = 2 Slice of bread

2 slice of bread × 4 Sandwich = 8 Slice of bread

Remaining slice of bread = 0

Total slice of bread in joey loaf = 8 slice of bread.

Answer:

The correct answer is 28 slices of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be BO slices of bologna and BR slices of bread in a package.

Mike use  BO/5  ( 5 slides per sandwich) and he use bread, BR- 4= BO/5 x2  

Joey use (BO-4)/4 and BR=(BO-4)/4 x2

We know BO and BR are the same for each one ,  so we can replace BR in one equation and Isolate BO

((BO-4)/4 x2)- 4= BO/5 x2  

We divide each term by 2  

((BO-4)/4 )- 2= BO/5

BO/4-1 -2=BO/5

BO/4-3=BO/5

BO/4- BO/5=3

5BO-4BO/20=3

1BO/20=3

BO= 3x 20

BO=60

 

and BR=(BO-4)/4 x2

BR=(60-4)/4 x2

BR=(56)/4 x2

BR=14 x 2= 28

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Spiders=8

Ants=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Spider(s)=8 legs

Ants(a)=6 legs

Total legs=136

Total heads=20

8s+6a=136 (1)

s+a=20 (2)

From (2)

s=20-a

Substitute 20-a into (1)

8s+6a=136

8(20-a)+6a=136

160-8a+6a=136

160-2a=136

-2a=136-160

-2a=-24

a= -24/-2

a=12

Substitute a=12 into (2)

s+a=20

s+12=20

s=20-12

s=8

Four years after opening an account that paid simple interest of 4.25% annually, a depositor withdrew the $2,380 in interest ear
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out how much money was left in the account after the interest was withdrawn, we have to first find out how much money was initially deposited to earn that amount of interest! The means to find that initial investment is found in the simple interest formula

prt = I, where

p is the initial investement,

r is the interest rate in decimal form,

t is the time in years, and

I is the interest earned. Notice that we have all those things but the p.

Filling in:

p(.0425)(4) = 2380 and

.17p = 2380 so

p = 14000

That means that 14000 was initially invested. If the depositor withdrew the 2380, then

14000 - 2380 is the amount left in the account, namely, $11620

A man retires at age 50 with $605,000 in savings. He spends his savings at a steady rate, and after 6 years of retirement, he ha
givi [52]

Since it states that he "spends his savings at a steady rate," we can assume this is a linear equation.

What we know is that he started with $605,000 and after 6 years, he used $300,000. So, we just subtract what he had originally by what he used and get $305,000. We can now make the equation as follows:

300,000=6x, where x is the amount of money he spent in one year. This equation simplifies to x=50,000, which is the amount of money he spent in one year.

Since the question asks us to tell how long it will take him to reach $100,000 in savings, we can make the equation using previous value we have found:

100,000=305,000-50,000x, where x is the number of years passed.

So, this equation solves to -205,000=-50,000x, or x=4.1

I'm not sure how you want to express your answer, but it took him 4.1 years on top of the 6 years already passed to reach $100,000. This mean 10.1 years in total.

Hope this helps!
