Jenna has $43 and Heidi has $17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = $60

Let,

Amount of Jenna = x

Amount of Heidi = y

According to given statement;

x+y=60 Eqn 1

x=2y+9 Eqn 2

Putting value of Eqn 2 in Eqn 1;

$(2y+9)+y=60\\2y+9+y=60\\3y=60-9\\3y=51$

Dividing both sides by 3,

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{51}{3}\\y=17\\$

Putting y=17 in Eqn 2

$x=2(17)+9\\x=34+9\\x=43$

Jenna has $43 and Heidi has $17.

Round 314550 to 1 significant figure

Sauron [17]

300000 all you had to do was round the number down after the 1 significant figure

you round down with
1,2,3,4

and round up with
5,6,7,8,9

so if it asked for 78453
to 2 significant figures you count the numbers and round after that
so 78|453 and since 4 is the next number and it is less that 5 we round down which means it becomes 78000 with is lower than 78453

but if we had 0.0247
and it asked for this number to 2 significant figures all you need to do is count the SIGNIFICANT figures significant means anything with value so that is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.... 0 has no value therefore we ignore 0 and start counting at the first figure larger than 0
if we go back to 0.0247 that would be the 2 so 2 significant figure of 0.0247 would equal
0.024|7
7 is larger than 5 so we round up to
0.025
tadaa i hope that helped

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Henri invested $ 4,500 in bonds and $ 19,500 in stocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Henri has $ 24000 invested in stocks and bonds, and the amount in stocks is $ 6000 more than three times the amount in bonds, to determine the amount that Henri invested in stocks (S) and the amount he invested in bonds (B), the following calculations must be performed:

6000 + 3B + B = 24000

3B + B = 24000 - 6000

4B = 18000

B = 18000/4

B = 4500

S = 6000 + 3x4500

S = 6000 + 13500

S = 19500

Thus, Henri invested $ 4,500 in bonds and $ 19,500 in stocks.
