In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer: The future value of the investment after 2 years is $807.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
P represents the principal or amount invested.
R represents interest rate
T represents time in years
I = interest after t years
From the information given
T = 2 years
P = $700
R = 7.7%
Therefore
I = (700 × 7.7 × 2)/100
I = 10780/100
I = 107.8
The total amount in the account after 2 years would be
700 + 107.8 = $807.8
Answer:
B. (3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1) When shifting from A(1,2) to B(4,4), the point shifted 3 units to the right (which means x=3) and 2 units upwards (which means y=2).
Step 2) So when you apply the same movements to point C(0,0), the new point will be (3,2).
See the diagram below. Step 1 is the graph on the left. Step 2 is the graph on the right. The movement is colored in green. Hope this helps!
