Answer:

210 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Arthur ⇒ a = 3 k
  • Yusuf ⇒  y = 5k
  • Bill ⇒      b = 6k

<u>Yusuf gave </u><u>x</u><u> stamps to Arthur, then:</u>

  • y = 5k -x
  • a = 3k + x

<u>Bill gave Arthur 42 stamps more than Yusuf gave to Arthur, then:</u>

  • b = 6k - (x+42)
  • a = 3k + x + x + 42

<u>Now all 3 have same amount of stamps:</u>

  • 5k -x = 6k - x - 42 = 3k + 2x + 42

<u>From the first part of the equation we get:</u>

  • 6k - 5k = 42 + x - x
  • k = 42

<u>How many stamps did Yusuf have at first?</u>

  • y = 5k
  • y =5*42
  • y = 210 stamps

Yusuf had 210 stamps at first

f(p) where p is the price in thousands. f(250) means the average number of days before being sold for $250,000. Lets take a look at the answers and see which fits the best:

1. The house sold for $250,000. (This is what the 250 stands for, but we need to find what f(250) means and not just 250)

2. The house stayed on the market for an average of 250 days before being sold. (Nope, not even close)

3. This is the average number of days the house stayed on the market before being sold for $250,000. (Yes! This seems right, f(250) is the average number of days before being sold for $250,000)

4. The house sold on the market for $250,000 and stayed on the market for an average of 250 days before being sold. (Nope, we are not told anywhere that it takes 250 days to be sold)

This means that our answer has to be 3) This is the average number of days the house stayed on the market before being sold for $250,000.

I hope I've helped! :)

Simplified what is 5(x+1)
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
5(x + 1)....distribute the 5 thru the parenthesis...that means multiply the 5 by everything in the parenthesis.

5(x + 1) = 5 * x + 5 * 1 = 5x + 5

QUESTION
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$97,958.42

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the compound interest formula which is shown below:

A=P(1+r )^{t}

<em>P = initial balance </em>

<em>r = interest rate </em>

<em>t = time </em>

<em> </em>

First change 6.5% to its decimal form:

6.5% -> \frac{6.5}{100} -> 0.065

Next plug in the values:

A=49,000(1+.065)^{11}

A=97,958.42

They have to pay back $97,958.42

It increased $42.



Now take this number and divide by the original number (first):

42 ÷ 30

This is 1.4, let's convert this to a percentage.
We now times it by 100



1.4 × 100
