Answer:

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Kohl has a "x" amount of solution, if he divides it by the number of students "n" he'll give each student 3 milliliters  and have a left over of 5 milliliters. If the amount of solution Mr. Kohl had was "x + 21" then he'd be able to give each student 4 milliliters of the solution. From these informations we have:

x = 3*n + 5

(x + 21)/n = 4

x + 21 = 4*n

x = 4*n - 21

Now that we have two equations and two variables we can solve the system of equations, as seen bellow:

3*n + 5 = 4*n - 21

3*n - 4*n = -21 - 5

-n = -26

n = 26

x = 4*26 - 21 = 83 ml

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.

What interest is needed to earn $137.50 on a deposit of $500 for five years if it earns simple interest?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest =  $137.50

Principal= $500

time = 5 years

We want to find the rate  R

Simple interest= PRT/100

137.50 = 500*R*5/100

137.50=2500R/100

cross multiply

137.5*100= 2500R

13750= 2500R

divide both sides by 2500

R= 13750/2500

R=5.5%

Hence the rate is 5.5%

Help me with this plsss
Brrunno [24]

1.

a. 8 x 7 x 1/2 = 56 x 1/2 = 28

b. 24 x 14 x 1/2 = 336 x 1/2 = 168

c. 5 x 12 x 1/2 = 60 x 1/2 = 30

d. 4 x 4.8 x 1/2 = 19.2 x 1/2 = 9.6

2.

two triangles: 2(4 x 8 x 1/2) = 4 x 8 = 32

rectangle: 15 x 8 = 120

total area: 32 + 120 = 152
