A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6% and the other paying 10% simple interest per year. He puts twice as muc

Masteriza [31]

Let x represent amount invested in the higher-yielding account.

We have been given that a man puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. So amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be $2x$ .

We are also told that his annual interest is $6600 dollars. We know that annual interest for one year will be principal amount times interest rate.

$I=Prt$ , where,

I = Amount of interest,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

We are told that interest rates are 6% and 10%.

$6\%=\frac{6}{100}=0.06$

$10\%=\frac{10}{100}=0.10$

Amount of interest earned from lower-yielding account: $2x(0.06)=0.12x$ .

Amount of interest earned from higher-yielding account: $x(0.10)=0.10x$ .

$0.12x+0.10x=6600$

Let us solve for x.

$0.22x=6600$

$\frac{0.22x}{0.22}=\frac{6600}{0.22}$

$x=30,000$

Therefore, the man invested $30,000 at 10%.

Amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be $2x\Rightarrow 2(30,000)=60,000$ .

Therefore, the man invested $60,000 at 6%.

The Great Pyramid has a height (h) of about 480 ft, a slant height (l) of about 560 ft and a square base of 756 ft. What is the

suter [353]

Answer: 91,445,760 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the base of this pyramid is a square, then you can use the following formula to calculate its volume:

$V=\frac{s^2h}{3}$

Where "s" is the lenght of any side of the base of the pyramid and "h" is the height of the pyramid.

You know that:

$h=480ft\\s=756ft$

Then, you can substitute these values into the formula. So, you get that the volume of The Great Pyramid is:

$V=\frac{(756ft)^2(480ft)}{3}=91,445,760ft^3$

Find the value of x in the equation x⁄ 4 + x⁄14 + x⁄17 = 71

Morgarella [4.7K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

33769/181

Discussion:

Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives

x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)

Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:

1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952

1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952

1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952

so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476

Substituting in (*) gives

x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181

x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769

x = 33769/181

Thank you,
