white : milk : dark

w : m : d

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

(w+m) : d = 17:4

---------

We treat the colons as fraction bars and cross multiply.

4w = 3(m+d) = 3m + 3d

4w + 4m = 17 d

Subtracting,

4m = 17d - (3m+3d) = 14d - 3m

7m = 14 d

m/d = 14/7

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m+d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer: 9:8:4

Check:

white to non white 9 to 8+4=12 = 3:4, good

non dark to dark (9+8):4=17:4, good

you get $2,000 loan at 9% interest rate and pays it back in 6 months. how much intereast will you pay on the loan
notka56 [123]

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 9%/100 = 0.09 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 2000 × 0.09 × 0.5 = 90

I = $ 90.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 2,000.00

at a rate of 9% per year

for 0.5 years is $ 90.00.
