The quantity 5 more than a number t is labeled as (5+t)
Product of 9 and the quantity is labeled as = 9(5+t) which equals 45+9t
Result is less than 6 so the equation becomes
45+9t < 6
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
Answer: C) Today's soup will taste the same
====================================================
Explanation:
The usual recipe has 9 tomatoes for every 12 bowls. This forms the ratio 9:12.
Divide both parts of the ratio by 12 to end up with 0.75:1
The ratio 0.75:1 means that there are 0.75 tomatoes for each bowl.
--------------
Then the restaurant updates the recipe to involve 6 tomatoes for every 8 bowls, leading to the ratio 6:8. Divide both parts by 8
The ratio 6:8 is the same as 0.75:1
---------------
We get the same ratio (0.75:1) each time we turn that second number into a 1, which means that each bowl involves the same number of tomatoes. Therefore, the taste should be the same.
Of course the concept of taste is subjective, meaning that the taste could easily vary over time even if you involved the same number of tomatoes. Also, the taste may vary from person to person. However, there should be an objective way to measure the "tomato"ness of each bowl.
Answer:
the x-axis is the middle horizontal line
the y-axis in the middle vertical line
the origin is (0,0) or where the x and y-axis cross
in the upper left quadrant the x-axis is negative and the y-axis is positive.
in the upper right quadrant the x-axis is positive and so is the y.
in the lower left quadrant both the x and y-axis is negative.
in the lower right quadrant the x-axis is positive and the y-axis is negative.
