Solution: Let x be the amount to be invested (15%).

Then,

x*0.15 + 550*0.11 = (x+550)*0.12

x*0.15 - x*0.12 = 550*0.12 - 550*0.11

0.03x = 550*(0.12-0.11)

0.03x = 550*0.01

0.03x = 5.5

x =5.5÷0.03

x=183.33

Answer: $183.33 more to be invested for 12 % total return.

Answer:

You need to invest $183.3 in a stock with an annual return of 15% so that the return on the total investment is 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

You have already invested $550 in a stock with an annual return of 11%. The interest earn will be: 550\times \frac{11}{100}

Let x amount invested at 15%, the interest earn will be: x\times \frac{15}{100}

It is given that we want that the return on the total investment is 12%

This can be written as

550\times \frac{11}{100} +x\times \frac{15}{100}=\frac{12}{100}(x+550)

Now solve the above equation for x.

550\times 0.11+x\times 0.15=0.12(x+550)

60.5+0.15x=0.12x+66

0.15x-0.12x=66-60.5

0.03x=5.5

x=183.333..

Hence, you need to invest $183.3 in a stock with an annual return of 15% so that the return on the total investment is 12%.

so uh i have a question about STEAM the app ik this is a math website but uh my question is lets say your playing roblox or mine
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, steam isn't a math website.

On discord, it doesn't show steam specifically, but if you're playing a game THROUGH steam then yes, it will show.

To hide this, go to options -> game activity -> and disable "Display currently running game as a status message" on discord.

If you want to hide your status on steam, just put your status to invisible :)

To steam rice, Paul uses m cups of water for every p
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m cups of water = p cups of rice

Required

Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice

<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>

<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>

<em />

This is calculated using the following expression;

m = k * p

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{m}{p}

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;

k becomes:

k = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Equate both expressions of k; to give

\frac{m}{p} = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Multiply both sides by p + 2

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =(p + 2) *  \frac{x}{p + 2}

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =x

x = (p + 2) * \frac{m}{p}

x =  \frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}<em></em>

Answer:

∠L = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2x + 3x = 180 (all angles in a triangle add up to 180)

10x = 180

x = 18°

∠L = 3x

sub x = 18

3(18) = 54

∠L = 54°
