Answer:

Emmanuel purchased 11 pounds of soil last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the number of pounds of soil Emmanuel purchased last week, we will have to work backwards.

We know that the amount is 5 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he bought last week. This info gives us an equation.

2x + 5 = 27, as its twice the amount last week and 5 lbs more. Now we solve.

2x + 5 = 27 | Subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 22 | Divide both sides by 2

x = 11

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $87 per share, paid a dividend of $1.60 per share during the year, and had an ending sha
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The total percentage return on the share investment is 19.08% as calculated below as sum of the dividends yield and capital gains yield

The dividend yield on the share is 1.84%

The capital gains yield on the share is 17.24%

Find the details of the figures in the explanation section below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage total return on the share is given the total return/initial share price.

The total return is the addition of dividend yield and gains yield

dividend yield=dividend/share price

                      =1.60/87

                      =1.84%

capital gains yield =(102-87)/87

                               =17.24%

Total percentage return=1.84%+17.24%

                                        =19.08%

A line passes through (1, 9) and has a slope of 5, what is the equation of this answer? 20 Points.
ddd [48]

Because it has a slope of 5, we can already set up part of the equation:

y = 5x

Now, we need to find the y-intercept.

We can do that by subtracting 1 from the x value of the provided coordinate pair, and subtracting 5 from 9.

1 - 1 = 0

9 - 5 = 4

The y-intercept is 4.

<h3><u>Our equation is y = 5x + 4</u></h3>
