Let t, h, b represent the weighs of tail, head, and body, respectively.
t = 4 . . . . given
h = t + b/2 . . . . the head weighs as much as the tail and half the body
b/2 = h + t . . . . half the body weighs as much as the head and tail
_____
Substituting for b/2 in the second equation using the expression in the third equation, we have
... h = t + (h + t)
Subtracting h from both sides gives
... 0 = 2t . . . . . . in contradiction to the initial statement about tail weight.
Conclusion: there's no solution to the problem given here.
Answer:
Sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sum = 40,000
The rate of interest for corporate bonds = 10 % = 0.1
The rate of interest for municipal bonds = 6 % = 0.06
Total interest = 3600
Let sum of money invested in corporate bonds = x
The sum of money invested in municipal bonds = 40000 - x
× 0.1 × 1 + (
) × 0.06 × 1 = 3600
(0.1- 0.06)
+ 2400 = 3600
0.04
= 1200
= 30,000
Since x = sum of money invested in corporate bonds
So sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30000
565 is the correct answer
