(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30.

(b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

Solution:

Ratio of Wayne's savings to Stef's savings = 5 : 6

Let x be the common amount they have.

After spending $28 each, the ratio becomes 1 : 4.

5x – 28 : 6x – 28 = 1 : 4

This can be written in a fraction form.

$\Rightarrow\frac{5x-28}{6x-28}=\frac{1}{4}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 4(5x-28)}=1({6x-28})

$\Rightarrow 20x-112=6x-28

Arrange like term one side.

$\Rightarrow 20x-6x=112-28

$\Rightarrow 14x=84

⇒ x = 6

(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x = 5(6) = $30

(b) To find stef's savings after spent $28:

Stef's savings before she spent $28 = 6x = 6(6) = $36

Stef's savings after she spent $28 = $36 – $28 = $8

Hence Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

step 1 :

let,

Wayne's savings = 5x

Stef's savings = 6x

step 2 :

After spending $28 each of them, The ratio becomes 1/4.

⇒ (28 - 5x) / (28 - 6x) = 1/4

⇒ 4(28 - 5x) = 1 (28 - 6x)

⇒ 112 - 20x = 28 - 6x

⇒ 112 - 28 = 20x - 6x

⇒ 84 = 14 x

x = 84/4 = 6

step 3 :

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x

substitute x=6,

Wayne's savings = 5(6) = $30

step 4 :

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 = Total savings - $28

                                                             = 6x - 28

                                                             = 6(6) - 28

∴ Stef's savings after she spent $28  = 36 - 28 =$8

What is the solution to the compound inequality? –6 ≤ 2x + 6 ≤ 6
maw [93]

∈  ≤ ≥

-6 ≤ 2x + 6 ≤ 6 ( seperate the two inequalities)

2x + 6 ≥ - 6

2x + 6 ≤ 6 (solve the inequalities)

x ≥ -6

x ≤ 0 (find the intersection)

solution is : x ∈  { -6, 0 }

if someone says that an investment had a rate of return of %10 why does it matter if the person means a nominal rate of return o
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct option is c.)

Step-by-step explanation:

If someone says that an investment had a rate of return of 10% It matters if the person means a nominal rate of return or a real rate of return because real rates take inflation into account. Nominal rates are not adjusted for inflation. Nominal rates of return usually appear to be higher than the real rates of return.

Therefore the correct option is c.)
