35% of 80 is 28.
80 x 0.35 = 28
I hope this helps.
Suppose he invest x dollars in one account, y in the other
x+y=12,500
0.042x+0.062y=669.50
multiple the first equation by 0.042: 0.042x+0.042y=525
subtract this new equation from equation 2: 0.02y=144.50
y=7225
x=12500-7225=5275
Answer:
Yea!
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 = 2y, then y = 6. To solve this kind of equation, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other, and it will remain equivalent. If you divide both sides by 2, you get 6 = y. Also, 2 * 6 = 12, a much easier way to find the answer.
