Answer:
20.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of stock increased in Company A = 20% of 1790
= 0.20 * 1790 = $ 358
Investor's stock in company A this year = 1790 + 358 = $ 2148
Amount of stock increased in Company B = 22% of 1000
= 0.22 * 1000= $ 220
Investor's stock in company B this year = 1000 + 220 = $ 1220
Total amount in investor's stock account = 2148 + 1220 = $ 3368
Increased amount = 3368 - 2790 = $ 578
Increase percentage = = 20.71
= 20.7%
Answer:
- The first graph (see figure attached)
Explanation:
<u>1. Number of pages read by Robert</u>
Set a function for the number of pages read by Robert, taking into account that this is an arithmetic sequence, whose first term is 30, and the common difference is 20:
- R(n) = 30 + 20 (n - 1)
↑ ↑ ↑
first day next days
<u>2. Number of pages read by Tony:</u>
The arithmetic sequence that represents the number of pages read by Tony has first term 40, and common difference 14:
- T(n) = 40 + 15 (n - 1)
↑ ↑ ↑
first day next days
<u>3. Find the numbers of pages read by Tony in terms of the number of pages read by Robert.</u>
To do that, you must clear n from both equations and equal the two expressions obtained:
From R(n) = 30 + 20 (n - 1):
- R(n) = 30 + 20n - 20
- R(n) = 10 + 20n
- n = [R(n) - 10]/20
You can change R(n) to r:
- n = (r - 10) / 20
From T(n) = 40 + 15 (n - 1)
- T(n) = 40 + 15n - 15
- T(n) = 25 + 15n
- n = [T(n) - 25]/15
Change T(n) to t
- n = (t - 25)/15
Equal both expressions:
- (r - 10) / 20 = (t - 25)/15
Solve for t:
- 15(r-10) = 20(t - 25)
- 15r - 150 = 20t - 500
- 15r - 150 + 500 = 20t
- 15r + 350 = 20t
- 3r + 70 = 4t
- 4t = 3r + 70
- t = (3/4)r + 70/4
- t = 0.75r + 17.5
Find some points of the equation t = 0.75r - 17.5 to compare with the points of the graph:
- r = 0 ⇒ t = 17.5, that means that the line intercepts the vertical axis at 17.5. The only graph that matches this is the first graph
Find other point:
- r = 30 ⇒ t = 0.75(30) + 17.5 = 40.Thus, the graph must contain the point (30, 40), which the first graph does.
