Answer:

  • $3200 at 3%
  • $4800 at 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest earned is proportional to the interest rate, so if the interest earned is the same, the amounts invested must be inversely proportional to the interest rates. That is, for the 3% and 2% accounts, the ratio of money invested is 2:3.

In other words, 2/5 of the money ($3200) was invested at 3%, and 3/5 of the money ($4800) was invested at 2%.

_____

If you need an equation, you can let x represent the amount invested at the highest rate. Then 8000-x is the amount invested at the lower rate. For the interest in the two accounts to be equal, we have ...

  3%·x = 2%·(8000-x) . . . . . the amounts of interest earned are the same

  3/2·x = 8000 -x . . . . . . . . divide by 2%

  5/2·x = 8000 . . . . . . . . . . . add x and simplify

  x = 8000·(2/5) = 3200  . . . multiply by the inverse of the x coefficient

  8000-x = 8000 -3200 = 4800 . . . . the amount invested at the lower rate

Tamara invested $3200 in the 3% account and $4800 in the 2% account.

_____

She earned $96 in each account for the year.

Answer:

In Heather's solution to the problem, she wrote and solved an equation.

Her work is:

Step 1: 1.08(x +9.01 +0.98 +5.01) = 21.87

Solving like terms

1.08(x+15}=21.87

dividing both side by 1.08

we get

x+15=21.87/1.08

x+15=20.25

subtracting both side by 13.9198

x=20.25-15

x=5.25

According to correction

;

<u>Option 1st</u>

<u>yes,it is correct</u>

If a cube has a volume of 9 feet and a shelf has a height of 27 inches, can the cube fit in the shelf?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Yes the cube will fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we don't take into account of how wide of long the cube is and just focus on the height, the edge of a cube with a volume of 9 feet is roughly 2.08 feet. That totals to less than 27 inches, therefore the cube will fit on the shelf.
