Mr. Jackson invested $800 at 6% per year and $ 2400  at 4 % per year

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Mr. Jackson invested a sum of money at 6% per year, and 3 times as much at 4% per year.

Let the sum invested be ‘a’ and ‘3a’ at 6% per year and 4 % per year respectively

Also, his annual return totaled $144

We can form following equation on the basis of question:-

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, } \frac{a \times 6 \times 1}{100}+\frac{3 a \times 4 \times 1}{100}=\$ 144} \\\\ {\frac{6 a}{100}+\frac{12 a}{100}=144} \\\\ {\frac{6 a+12 a}{100}=144} \\\\ {\frac{18 a}{100}=144} \\\\ {18 a=14400} \\\\ {a=14400 \div 18}\end{array}

a = $800

The amount of money invested at 6% = a = 800

The amount of money invested at 4 % = 3a = 3(800) = 2400

So, the amount of money invested at 6% is $800 and the amount of money invested at 4% is $ 2400

Five friends went to a local restaurant and all the buffet at $7.75 each. Two friends had dessert for $2.99 each. The following
dangina [55]

Answer:

The answer is $44.73 and what ever the explain part said on the question is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

I say this because there are 5 friends and each bill for them is $7.75 so $7.75 times 5 equal $38.75 and then the extra money for dessert is 2.99 but two times so when u add those two to $38.75 it equals $44.73.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (1,9), and (3,5).
Tcecarenko [31]

To write the equation of the line, we will use the point-slope formula.

To do this, we need a point and a slope.

We can find out slope by using the slope formula.

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

So we have 5 - 9 / 3 - 1 or -4/2 which is -2.

Now let's use the point-slope formula.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Now substitute one of our points (x₁, y₁) into our formula.

So we have y - 5 = -2(x - 3).

Distributing the -2 gives us y - 5 = -2x + 6.

Moving the -5 to the right, we have y = -2x + 11.

So y = -2x + 11 is our equation.
