Jim is investing in the stock market. Jim is hoping to earn $2,000 in interest in order to take a trip to Mexico. Stock A earns

Vanyuwa [196]

Given:

Total amount for investment = $32000

Rate of interest for Stock A = 4%

Rate of interest for Stock B = 7%

Jim is hoping to earn $2,000 in interest.

To find:

The amount of investments in Stock A and Stock B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of investments in Stock A = $x

Amount of investments in Stock B = $y

Total amount for investment = $32000

$x+y=32000$ ...(i)

Rate of interests in Stock A and Stock B are 4% and 7%. Total interests is $2000.

$0.04x+0.07y=2000$ ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

$0.04x+0.07(32000-x)=2000$

$0.04x+2240-0.07x=2000$

$-0.03x=2000-2240$

$-0.03x=-240$

Divide both sides by -0.03.

$x=\dfrac{-240}{-0.03}$

$x=8000$

Put x=8000 in (i).

$8000+y=32000$

$y=32000-8000$

$y=24000$

Therefore, the amount of investments in Stock A and Stock B are $8000 and $24000 respectively.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers.

Therefore: If the amount spent on books per month by all her classmates is leveled that amount would be $30

To calculate it: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a(n) = a1 *(1.25)^{(n-1)}$

$a(1) = 5$

$a(2) = 5*(1.25)^{(2-1)}\\a(2) = 5*(1.25)^{1}\\a(2) = 5*(1.25)\\a(2) = 6.25$

$a(3) = 5 * (1.25)^{(3-1)} \\a(3) = 5 * (1.25)^{2}\\a(3) = 5 * 1.565\\a(3) = 7.813$

$a(4) = 5* (1.25)^{(4-1)}\\ a(4) = 5* (1.25)^{3}\\a(4) = 5* 1.953\\a(4) = 9.766$

$a(5) = 5 * (1.25)^{(5-1)}\\a(5) = 5 * (1.25)^{4}\\a(5) = 5 * 2.441\\a(5) = 12.207$

$a(6) = 5 * (1.25)^{5}\\a(6) = 5 * 3.052\\a(6) = 5 * 3.0517\\a(6) = 15.259$

$a(1) = 5$

$a(2) = 6.25$

$a(3) = 7.813$

$a(4) = 9.766$

$a(5)=12.207$

$a(6)=15.259$
