Question

Carlos is investing his money. He thinks that he should make nine dollars for every $100 he invests. How much does he expect to make on an investments of $6000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carlos expect to make $540 on an investments of $6000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Carlos thinks that he should make $9 for every $100 he invests.

Now, to get the amount Carlos expect to make on an investments of $6000.

Let the amount he expect to make on an investments of $6000 be $x.$

As, Carlos thinks that he should make nine dollars for every $100 he invests.

So, $100 is equivalent to $9.

Thus, $6000 is equivalent to $x.$

Now, to get the amount using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{100}{9} =\frac{6000}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$100x=54,000$

Dividing both sides by 100 we get:

$x=540.$

Therefore, Carlos expect to make $540 on an investments of $6000.
