Answer:

The number of Diplo pops D = 18

The number of sneakers S = 12

Step-by-step expla nation:

Given:

Cost of one Diplo pops = $.50

Cost of one sneakers = $.60

Total number of candies purchased = 30 pieces

cost of the number of candies purchased = $16.80

To Find:

Number of each type of candies = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of Diplo pops be D

The number of sneakers be S

Total number of candies = 30

S+D = 30

S= 30 - D--------------------------------------(1)

and cost of 30 candies is $16.80

S(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80----------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

(30 - D)(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80

15 - 0.50D +0.60D = 16.80

15 + 0.10D = 16.80

0.10D = 16.80 - 15

0.10D = 1.80

D = $\frac{1.80}{0.10}$

D = 18

So the number of Diplo pops = 18

Number of sneakers S= 30 - 18 = 12

11. Mr Lee bought a second hand car for

Marrrta [24]

Answer :

Depends on the rate compound interest is accrued. See answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the compound interest formula which is:

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

It doesn't say how frequently the interest is compounded, so we will do monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

MONTHLY

So we know the car costs $25,480 and he made a down payment of $10,000. By subtracting the down payment from the purchase price we find the loan amount.

$25,480 - $10,000 = $15,480

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 12 (12 months in a year)

t = 2

Plug everything into the compound interest formula.

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{12*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{24}$

$A = 15480(1+.00396)^{24}$

$A = 15480(1.00396)^{24}$

$A = 15480*1.0992$

$A = $17016.14$

Mr. Lee paid $17,016.14 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded monthly.

QUARTERLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 4 (4 quarters in a year)

t = 2

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{4*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{8}$

$A = 15480(1+.0119})^{8}$

$A = 15480(1.0119)^{8}$

$A = 15480*1.099$

$A = 15480(1.099)$

$A = 17013.20$

Mr. Lee paid $17,013.20 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded quarterly.

YEARLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 1

t = 2

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{1})^{1*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{2}$

$A = 15480(1+.0475})^{2}$

$A = 15480(1.0475)^{2}$

$A = 15480*1.0973$

$A = 16985.53$

Mr. Lee paid $16,985.53 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded yearly.

How do I workout/find the unknown angles please

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: x = 135 degrees and y = 225 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem we first use the equation (n-2)*180 [n being the number of sides] to find the sum of interior angles in the figure. We plug the values in: (8-2)*180 = 6*180 degrees = 1080 degrees. We divide this by 8 to get the measure of an interior angle: 1080 degrees/8 = 135 degrees. Since all the interior angles of a regular polygon are congruent, we can say that angle x + angle y = 360 degrees. Thus subtract x degrees from 360 degrees to get y: 360 degrees - 135 degrees = 225 degrees. Therefore, x = 135 degrees and y = 225 degrees.

The room numbers of two adjacent classrooms are two consecutive even integers. If their sum is 654, find the classroom numbers.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: It is 326 and 328.

Step-by-step explanation: We know that the numbers must be even and consecutive, so we can figure this problem out by trial and error. Divide 654 by two, and then keep going until you get the proper answer.

(Hope this helps :) )
