If the amount of students who listed basketball as their favorite sport is x, we have 3 times x - 17 = 487 due to that soccer has 17 fewer players than 3 times basketball. Adding 17 to both sides, we get 3*x=504 and by dividing both sides by 3, we get x=168
All I could think is subtract and divide
Answer:
<u><em>y=7 </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>
<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the information provided.
x is number of hours at baby- sitting
y is number of hours at grocery store
total number of hours worked
<em>1) </em><em>x+y =25</em>
total earn in a week
<em>2) </em><em>x*$6 + y* $9 = $171</em>
<em />
<em>from equation 1</em>
x+y=25
x= 25-y
<em>we place the above derived equation in equation 2 </em>
x*$6 + y* $9 = $171
(25-y)*$6 + y* $9 = $171
(25*6) -6y +9y =171
150+3y=171
3y=171-150
3y=21
<u><em>y=7 </em></u><u>number of hours at grocery store</u>
x= 25-y
x= 25-7
<u><em>x=18 </em></u><u>number of hours at baby- sitting</u>
The future value of the amount deposited will be given by:
FV=p(1+r/100n)^nt
where:
FV=future value
p=principle
r=rate
n=terms
t=time
thus substituting our values in the formula we get:
FV=4000(1+5.4/1200)^(6×12)
FV=$5,526.57
Answer: $5,526.57
2.73972603 or ... you can round to the nearest tenth... 2.7
