Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the basic simple interest formula:

P * r * t = I and put the info into a table with those variables along the top, formig the columns we need:

                   P       *       r       *       t      =       I

Acct 1

Acct 2

If we have a total of 1500 to split up between 2 accounts, we put x amount of money into one and then have 1500-x left to put into the other.  We will fill those in along with the interest rates in decimal form and the time of 1 year:

                   P        *        r        *        t        =        I

Acct 1           x               .04                1

Acct 2     1500-x          .05                 1

Looking at the formula we are told that Prt = I, so we will multiply P times r times t and fill in the I column:

                  P        *        r        *        t        -        I

Acct 1         x                 .04              1               .04x

Acct 2    1500-x           .05               1          .05(1500-x)

The total Interest earned by the addition of the interest earned from both accounts is 69.50.  So we add the interest column together and set it equal to 69.50:

.04x + .05(1500 - x) = 69.50 and

.04x + 75 - .05x = 69.50 and

-.01x = -5.5 so

x = 550

That's how much money is in the account earning 4% interest.

Find the value of x.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

2\sqrt{77}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem. a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}

a and b are the two side lengths

c is the hypotenuse (value across from the right angle)

Plug in the values that you are given.

a^{2} +4^{2} =18^{2}

Solve for x

x^{2} =18^{2} -4^{2}

x^{2} =308

x=\sqrt{308}

x=2\sqrt{77}

Kay has 28 coins which includes nickels and dimes if the total is 2.35$, how many of each coin does Kay have?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:9 nickels and 19 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels Kay has.

Let d be the number of dimes Kay has.

Value of 1 nickel is $0.05

Value of n nickels is $0.05n

Value of 1 dime is $0.1

Value of d nickels is $0.1dn

Given that Kay has a total of 28 coins.

So,n+d=28                                                ...(i)

Given that Kay has a total value of $2.35

So,0.05n+0.1d=2.35                                 ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii),

0.05n+0.1(28-n)=2.35\\0.05n+2.8-0.1n=2.35\\2.8-2.35=0.05n\\0.45=0.05n\\n=9

d=28-n=28-9=19
