Well if there is 28 feet, that would be (12x28) 336 inches,  and 16 inches between the plug and the first light, there would be only 320 inches left for lights. therefore, if there are 4 inches between each light, we divide 320 by 4.  the answer we get is 80. there are 80 lights.

Paul has $40000 to invest. His intent is to earn 9% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 6% and part a
Black_prince [1.1K]

Paul needs to invest $10000 at 6% interest and $30000 at 10% interest to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, the amount of money at 6% interest is x

As Paul has total $40000 to invest, so the amount of money at 10% interest will be: (40000-x) dollar

His intent is to earn 9% interest on his $40000 investment. So, the equation will be......

0.06x+0.10(40000-x)=0.09*40000\\ \\ 0.06x+4000-0.10x=3600\\ \\ -0.04x=3600-4000=-400\\ \\ x=\frac{-400}{-0.04}=10000

So, Paul needs to invest <u>$10000 at 6% interest</u> and ($40000- $10000) or <u>$30000 at 10% interest </u>to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.
