Answer:

$3000 was invested at 11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total interest was $426.  This was comprised of interest earned at 8% (represented by e) and (separately) interest earned at 11% (represented by v).

Then e + v = $4200 total investment, and  

i = $426 = e(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year)

We eliminate the variable e as follows:  since e + v = $4200, e = $4200 - v.  Thus,

i = $426 = e(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year) becomes:

i = $426 = ($4200 - v)(0.08)(1 year) + v(0.11)(1 year)  

This is one equation in one unknown, the amount of $ invested at 11%.

Performing the indicated multiplications:

426 = 4200(0.08) - 0.08v + 0.11v.  Simplifying this further, we get:

426 = 336 + 0.03v.

Then 90 = 0.03v, and v = 90 / 0.03 = $3000.

$3000 was invested at 11%.

Holly drove 100 miles in 4 hours, and Yemi drove 100 miles in 5 hours. How can you compare the speeds of Holly and Yemi? Explain
Lelu [443]
The first thing that yo do is divide 100 by 5 for Yemi and that's how fast she drove which is 20 miles per hour. And then you do the same thing for Holly 100 divided by 4 which is 25 mph. So Holly is driving faster than Yemi. So you can compare them by dividing the miles by hours for both of them.
