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%.

Answer:

-2 19/20, 2 3/5. 3.125, 10.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve each expression:

Solve:

-4.5 x -2.3

Multiply:

-4.5 x -2.3

10.35

Therefore, the simplified expression is 10.35

Solve:

5/-1.6

Divide:

5/-1.6

3.125

Therefore, the simplified expression is 3.125

Solve:

5 6/15 + (-2 4/5)

First, make the denominators of 4/5 equal to 15:

4/5 = ?/15

Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:

4 x 3 = 12

5 x 3 = 15

The new fraction is 12/15.

Add:

5 6/15 + (-2 12/15)

2 9/15

Simplify:

2 9/15 = 2 3/5

(divide the numerator and denominator by 3)

Therefore, the simplified expression is 2 and three-fifths.

Solve:

-3 3/10 - (-7/20)

First, make the denominators of 3/10 equal to 20:

3/10 = ?/20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:

3 x 2 = 6

10 x 3 = 20

The new fraction is 6/20.

Subtract:

-3 6/20 - (-7/20)

-2 19/20

Therefore, the simplified expression is negative 2 and nineteen-twentieths.

Order from least to greatest:

-2 19/20, 2 3/5. 3.125, 10.35

Drag each tile to the correct box. not all tiles will be used.Chris plans to mulch the border surrounding a rectangular garden i
amm1812

Length (L): 2w + 3

width (w): w

border (b): \frac{1}{4} w

Area (A) = (L + b) * (w + b)   <em>NOTE: This is assuming the width also has a border</em>

              = (2w + 3 + \frac{1}{4} w) * (w + \frac{1}{4} w)

              = (2\frac{1}{4} w + 3)(1\frac{1}{4} w)

              = (\frac{9}{4} w + 3)(\frac{5}{4} w)

              = \frac{45}{16} w^2 + \frac{15}{4}w
