Answer: the amount of money invested at the rate of 8% is $9000

the amount of money invested at the rate of 6%. Is $12000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 8%.

Let y represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 6%.

Mr. May invested $21,000, part at 8% and the rest at 6%. This means that

x + y = 21000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time

Considering the investment at the rate of 8%,

P = x

R = 8

T = 1

I = (x × 8 × 1)/100 = 0.08x

Considering the investment at the rate of 6%,

P = y

R = 8

T = 1

I = (y × 8 × 1)/100 = 0.06y

If the annual income from both investments were equal, it means that

0.08x =0.06y - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 21000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.08(21000 - y)=0.06y

1680 - 0.08y = 0.06y

0.06y + 0.08y = 1680

0.14y = 1680

y = 1680/0.14 = 12000

Substituting y = 12000 into

x = 21000 - y

x = 21000 - 12000

x = 9000

A sphere has a diameter of 1.2 meters. The sphere increased the diameter by 0.2 meters. What percent increase is the radius of t
Tasya [4]
So, the sphere went from 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters.
The radius will always be half of the diameter. So it went from .6 to .7.
Let's divide and see what percent .7 is of .6.
.7÷.6=1.166666666(repeating 6).
This means, it increased by about 16.7%, since it was not doubling, just going up.

A tree that is 4 ft tall is growing at a rate of 1 ft each year a tree that is 12 feet tall is growing at a rate of 1/2 ft each
Andreyy89

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

For the first tree

let the expression for the height be

y=4+x--------------1

where y= the total height

          4= the initial height

          x= the number of years

For the second tree, the expression is

y=12+0.5x-------------2

Equate 1 and 2

4+x=12+0.5x

x-0.5x=12-4

0.5x= 8

x= 8/0.5

x=16

Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height
