Answer:

$2,000 was invested at 15% rate.

$3,000 was invested at 16% rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carolyn received a check last week.

She invested part at 15%  and;

$1000 more than this amount at 16%

She will earn simple interest of $780 in one year.

Simple interest formula is;

I = PRT

Where I is the interest, P is the amount invested, R is the rate and T is the time.

<h3>Lets say the part invested at 15% rate was $x</h3>

Interest earned here = $x × \frac{15}{100} × 1 = $0.15x

<h3>The amount invested at 16% was $x + $1000</h3><h3 />

Interest earned here = ($x + $1000) × \frac{16}{100} × 1 = $0.16x + $160

<h3>Total interest earned is equal to:</h3><h3 />

$0.15x + $0.16x + $160 = $780

$0.31x = $780 - $160 = $620

$x = $620 ÷ 0.31 = $2000

<em>So the amount invested at 15% rate was $2000 and;</em>

<em>The amount invested at 16% rate was $2000 + $1000 = $3000</em>

Answer:

21 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find out how much money Chang has to spend on socks by subtracting the price of sneakers from his total money to spend by solving 160 - 95. From that, we get our answer of $65 that Chang has to spend on socks. We can divide 65 by 3 to see how many pairs of socks he can buy and we get our answer of 21 pairs of socks.

(sorry if it's confusing but I hope it helped anyway)

Help with Pre Calculus

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a rational function should be all real numbers except for when the denominator is equal to 0. To find when the denominator is equal to 0 you simply need to find the zeroes of the denominator... but in this case you can do that through factoring and using the quadratic equation.

So first step is going to be to factor out the GCF, which in this case is x. This gives you the equation. x(2x^2-x-15). So one of the zeroes is when x=0. Now to find the other two zeroes you can use the quadratic equation which is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\. So to find the other zeroes you simply plug the values in. a=2, b=-1, c=-15

x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-15)}}{2(2)}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-4(2)(-15)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{121)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm11}{4}\\\\x=\frac{12}{4}\\x=3\\\\x=\frac{-10}{4}\\x=-\frac{5}{2}

Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h3>6 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation

Using the pythagoras theorem;

Given

The length of the flag pole = 8 feet = opposite side

Length of the rope = 10 feet = hypotenuse

To determine how far out on the ground he need to secure the rope from the flagpole so that the rope is tight, we need to look for the adjacent. Using the equation

hyp² = opp² + adj²

10² = 8² + adj²

adj² = 100-64

adj² = 36

adj = √36

adj = 6feet

Hence the rope should be placed 6feet out of the ground
