Answer:  The correct option is

(c) $2.20.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes and costs $26.60.

Also, x represents the cost of a birthday card and y represents the cost of a thank-you note.

We are to find the cost of each birthday card.

The system of linear equations representing the given situation is given by

3x+2y=9.60~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\8x+6y=26.60~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we have

3(3x+2y)=3\times9.60\\\\\Rightarrow 9x+6y=28.80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (iii), we get

(9x+6y)-(8x+6y)=28.80-26.60\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.20.

Thus, the cost of each birthday card is $2.20

Option (c) is CORRECT.

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

 thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

The value of the year at the end of 2025 will be given by:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future value
P=principle
r=rate
n=number of terms
hence for the data given;
p=35000
R=5.5
n=(2025-2017)*2=16
Thus
A=35000(1+5.5/100)^16
A=$82, 434. 20

An isosceles triangle has side lengths of 15.6 units and 20.33 units. What is the greatest possible value of the perimeter of th
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

56.26

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides that are the same length, and one side that is the same length. We have two sizes, so two find the greatest possible perimeter we must assume that the greater size is the value for the two sides, and the smaller size the value for the single side. In other words:

x = 15.6 + 2(20.33)

x = 56.26

Hello! For these kinds of problems, the formula for finding the principal is I / rt. That means, divide the simple interest by the rate and time (rate should be in decimal form). In order to find simple interest, just do prt, which means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest rate, in decimal form) by the amount of time (could be in months or years). With that being said, if you solve it correctly, here are your answers:

Principal: $14,181
Interest rate: 10%
Time: 4 years
Simple Interest: $5,672.40

Principal: $83,079
Interest rate: 9%
Time: 2 years
Simple Interest: $14,954.22

Principal: $659,379.96
Interest rate: 11.7%
Time: 28 months
Simple Interest: $179,753.57

Principal: $18,936
Interest Rate: 2.41%
Time: 3 Months
Simple Interest: $114.09

Note: If the time is in months, be sure to convert it into a decimal and multiply. If a decimal repeats, just convert it to the nearest hundredth.
