Answer:

Jacob: $80

Hilary: $120

Brian: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Brian gets be $x.

Amount Jacob gets= $(2x)

Amount Hilary gets= $(3x)

Total amount of money= $x +$(2x) +$(3x)= $(6x)

$240= $(6x)

6x= 240

x= 240÷6

x= 40

Now substitute the value of x to find out the amount of money each one gets.

Brian gets $40.

Amount Jacob gets= 2(40)= $80

Amount Hilary gets= 3(40)= $120

A truck cost $21,000.00 with an estimated salvage value of $1,000.00. It has an estimated useful life of 5 years. If the truck w

taurus [48]

Straight line depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation in each year.
Our Depreciation Base is 21,000 - 1,000 = 20,000
The useful life is 5 years, so each year we depreciate 20,000 ÷ 5 = 4,000

Book Value is Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
After Year 1:
Book Value = 21,000 - 4,000 = 17,000

Answer is A) 17,000

Kara ate 2 7/9 of the raisins she packed. Which box shows the decimal equivalent of the amount of raisins she ate? Box A: 2.777

vivado [14]

Answer: Box A, 2.777

=======================================================

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.

Skippy has a total of $10,000 to split between two investments. One account offers 4% simple interest, and the other account off

ki77a [65]

Skippy should invest $ 7500 in account offering 4 % interest and $ 2500 in account offering 8 % simple interest

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Skippy has a total of $10,000 to split between two investments

One account offers 4% simple interest, and the other account offers 8% simple interest

Total interest earned = 500

Number of years = 1

Let the principal with rate of interest 4 % is x

So the principal for rate of interest 8 % is 10000 - x

Total interest earned = simple interest for 4 % interest + simple interest for 8 % interest

Simple interest is given as:

$S.I = \frac{pnr}{100}$

Where "p" is the principal and "r" is the rate of interest and "n" is the number of years

Therefore,

$\text{ Total interest earned } = \frac{x \times 1 \times 4}{100} + \frac{10000-x \times 1 \times 8}{100}$

$500 = 0.04x + (10000 - x)0.08\\\\500 = 0.04x + 800 - 0.08x\\\\-300 = -0.04x\\\\x = 7500$

Therefore skippy should invest $ 7500 in account offering 4 % interest

And skippy should invest (10000 - x) = (10000 - 7500) = $ 2500 in account offering 8 % interest
