Answer:

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

Let

x-----> the amount invested at 5%

50,000-x -----> the amount invested at 7%

so

t=1\ year\\ I=\$2,720\\r_1=0.05\\r_2=0.07\\P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(50,000-x)

substitute in the formula above

2,720=x(0.05*1)+(50,000-x)(0.07*1)

solve for x

2,720=0.05x+3,500-0.07x

0.07x-0.05x=3,500-2,720\\0.02x=780\\x=\$39,000

(50,000-x)=\$11,000

therefore

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

There are 450 total students at Snowden School. On Tuesdays, 12% of the students stay after school for Comedy Club. How many stu
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

54 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the percent to a decimal.

12% = 0.12

Now, multiply the decimal by the total amount of students to find the amount of students that stay after school.

450 × 0.12 = 54

54 students stay after school for Comedy Club.

An=-31+(n-1)-11 find the eleventh term
Lilit [14]

An=-31+(n-1)-11 find the eleventh term

a11 = -31 + (-11) (11-1)

a11 = -31 +-11(10)

a11 =-31 +-110

a11 = -142

A graph represents the feasible region for the system: y is less than or equal to 2x, x + y is greater than or equal to 45, and
atroni [7]
Notation. x  y means x is less than or equal to y. x y means x is greater than or equal to y. x < y means x is less than y. x > y means x is greater than y. The last two inequalities are called strict inequalities. Our focus will be on the nonstrict inequalities. Algebra of Inequalities Suppose x + 3 < 8. Addition works like for equations: x + 6 < 11 (added 3 to each side). Subtraction works like for equations: x + 2 < 7 (subtracted 4 from each side). Multiplication and division by positive numbers work like for equations: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x + 6 < 11 (each side is divided by 2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). 59 60 4. LINEAR PROGRAMMING Multiplication and division by negative numbers changes the direction of the inequality sign: 2x + 12 < 22 =) x 6 > 11 (each side is divided by -2 or multiplied by 1 2 ). Example. For 3x 4y and 24 there are 3 possibilities: 3x 4y = 24 3x 4y < 24 3x 4y > 24 4y = 3x + 24 4y < 3x + 24 4y > 3x + 24 y = 3 4x 6 y > 3 4x 6 y < 3 4x 6 The three solution sets above are disjoint (do not intersect or overlap), and their graphs fill up the plane. We are familiar with the graph of the linear equation. The graph of one inequality is all the points on one side of the line, the graph of the other all the points on the other side of the line. To determine which side for an inequality, choose a test point not on the line (such as (0, 0) if the line does not pass through the origin). Substitute this point into the linear inequality. For a true statement, the solution region is the side of the line that the test point is on; for a false statement, it is the other side.
