Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...
$2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37
16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms
3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.

t = 6.25 years
(about 6 years 3 months)
Equation:
t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 4%/100 = 0.04 per year,
then, solving our equation
t = (1/0.04)((2500/2000) - 1) = 6.25
t = 6.25 years
The time required to get a total amount, principal plus interest, of $2,500.00 from simple interest on a principal of $2,000.00 at an interest rate of 4% per year is 6.25 years (about 6 years 3 months).

The two distances are the same (out and back), so set them equal.
That is done by having a (rate)(time) equal a (rate)(time).
One time is “x” and the other is “4.8-x.”
One rate is 460 and the other is 500.
460 x = 500 (4.8 -x)
460 x = 2400 - 500x
900 x = 2400
x = 2.5 hours for the slower plane.
4.8- x = 2.3 hours for the faster plane.
The answer is $17.75, though usually the taxi company will pay for gas that the driver uses.
