Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total Cost = $ 834

            Price of Car = $52

            Price of Plane = $14

Let, the number of model cars be x and model planes y.

⇒ 834 = 52x + 14y---------- (1)

Also, The number of model planes are 3 more than that of the model cars.

⇒y = x+3 ----------(2)

Substituting the value of y from (2) in (1)

    834 = 52x + 14(x+3)

⇒  834 = 52x + 14x +42

⇒834-42 = 66x

⇒66x = 792

⇒ x=12

Substituting the value of x in (2)

y = 12+3 = 15

Therefore, Mr. Garcia bought 15 model planes.

One angle of atriangle measures 12 degrees. the second angle's measurements is five times the third. what is the measure of the
andrezito [222]
28 degrees. This is because the first angle is 12 degrees, the third is x degrees and the second is 5x. You know that in a triangle the angles add up to 180 degrees so 12 + 5x + x = 180. Then you get 6x =168 and x =28 degrees. (**x being the thrid angle**)

Eliza started her savings account with $100. Each month she deposits $25 into her account. Determine the average rate of change
Afina-wow [57]
First, lets create a equation for our situation. Let x be the months. We know four our problem that <span>Eliza started her savings account with $100, and each month she deposits $25 into her account. We can use that information to create a model as follows:
</span>f(x)=25x+100
<span>
We want to find the average value of that function </span>from the 2nd month to the 10th month, so its average value in the interval [2,10]. Remember that the formula for finding the average of a function over an interval is: \frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1} }. So lets replace the values in our formula to find the average of our function:
\frac{25(10)+100-[25(2)+100]}{10-2}
\frac{350-150}{8}
\frac{200}{8}
25

We can conclude that <span>the average rate of change in Eliza's account from the 2nd month to the 10th month is $25.</span>

Sam invests $6000 in two different accounts. The first account paid 12 %, the second account paid 7 % in interest. At the end of
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest

So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest

SI = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}

First account:SI=\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}

Second account : SI =\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}

We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.

So, \frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}+\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}=590\\x=3400

So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400

The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600

Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600
