Answer:

x=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

25-(3x+5)=2(x+8)+x

25-3x-5=2x+16+x

20-3x=3x+16

20-3x-3x=16

20-6x=16

6x=20-16

6x=4

x=4/6

simplify

x=2/3

Many us employess received a 3% raise in 2012 suppose an employee made 47,000 in 2011 and received a 3% raise. What did she make

WITCHER [35]

First lets get 3% into decimal form.

3% is 3/100 = 0.03

Now multiply 0.03 by 47000 to get how much extra money she was going to get.

47000 * 0.03 = 1410

Now we just add
47000 + 1410 = 48410 is what she was going to make in 2012

Another way to do this is

(47000)(1+0.03) = 48410

you would use (1+0.03) which tells you she increased in pay.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

She deposits $350 into the account at the beginning of the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Keegan deposits $P into her savings account at the beginning of the year.

The account earns 3% simple interest each year and she has $360.50 in her account at the end of the year.

If Keegan did not make any additional deposits or withdrawals during the year.

So, we can write that $P[1+\frac{3}{100} ]= 360.50$
