L=7+w
P=(12x+14)=2(6x+7)
l+w= P/2 = 2(6x+7)/2= 6x+7
l+w=6x+7
2l = 6x+7
l = (6x+7)/2
l=7+w
-> w= l-7
= [(6x+7)/2] -7
= (6x+7-14)/2
= (6x-7)/2
the rate of growth will be 1.16
Answer:
D: 5:2
Step-by-step explanation:
40:16 simplified is 5:2
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Just took it
Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900
Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%
method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800
