L: Large
s: Small

-2 (2L + 3s = 46)
4L + 8s = 105

-4L - 6s = -92
4L + 8s = 105

2s = 13
s = 6.5 kilograms

2L + 3 ( 6.5 ) = 46
2L + 19.5 = 46
2L = 26.5
L = 13.25 kilograms.

"Bill’s nominal income in 1990 was $1,009 per month. The CPI had a value of 149 in 1990 and had a value of 192 in 2017. What is

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

$677.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Bill’s nominal income in 1990 = $1,009 per month

CPI value in the year 1990 = 149

CPI value in the year 2017 = 192

Now,

The Consumer price index ( CPI ) is given as :

CPI = $\frac{\textup{Cost of basket in the current year}}{\textup{Cost of basket in the base year}}\times100$

thus,

for the given case of year 1990

149 = $\frac{\textup{1,009}}{\textup{Real income in the year 1990}}\times100$

or

Real income in 1990 = $\frac{\textup{1,009}}{\textup{149}}\times100$

or

Real income in 1990 = $677.18

Jake is comparing the prices of two mattress cleaning companies. Company A charges $30 per mattress and an additional $13 as ser

Musya8 [376]

I think it's :
Part A ; $30 * (x) + $13
$28 * (x) + $15
Part B ; so $30 * 4 + $13 = $133 vs.
$28 * 4 + $15 = $111 so that would mean company B Would charge the least amount.
Part C ; the difference between company a and company B prices is $22.

Write an equation to represent Catherine's profit (p) from selling cupcakes for one month Catherine sells cupcakes, c, for 1.50

Archy [21]

Answer:

$\text{p}=\$1.20\text{c}-\$20$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Catherine sells cupcakes c for $\$1.50$ each, The ingredients for each cupcake cost her $\$0.30$ , and the sum of all her other expenses is $\$20/\text{month}$ .

TO FIND: Equation to represent Catherine's profit from selling cupcakes.

SOLUTION:

Cost of ingredients for each cupcake $=\$0.30$

sum of all other expenses $=\$20/\text{month}$

Selling price of each cupcake $=\$1.50$

Total cupcakes sold $=\text{c}$

Now,

As we know that $\text{Net profit}=\text{Selling price}-\text{Cost price}-\text{Other expense}$

putting values,

$\text{p}=\$1.50\text{c}-\$0.30\text{c}-\$20$

$\text{p}=\$1.20\text{c}-\$20$

Hence the equation to represent Catherine's profit (p) from selling cupcakes for one month Catherine sells is $\text{p}=\$1.20\text{c}-\$20$

Nicolas has $6,500 to deposit into an account which earns 3.25% interest compounded annually. How interest will he have earned a

agasfer [191]

We have been given that Nicolas has $6,500 to deposit into an account which earns 3.25% interest compounded annually. We are asked to find amount of interest earned at the end on 8 years.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where,

A = Final amount,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.

$3.25\%=\frac{3.25}{100}=0.0325$

$A=6500(1+\frac{0.0325}{1})^{1\cdot 8}$

$A=6500(1+0.0325)^{8}$

$A=6500(1.0325)^{8}$

$A=6500(1.2915775352963673)$

$A=8395.253979$

Now we will subtract principal amount from final amount to find amount of interest as:

$\text{interest}=8395.253979-6500$

$\text{interest}=1895.253979\approx 1895.25$

Therefore, Nicolas would have earned $1895.25 in interest at the end of 8 years.
