Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the property of parallelograms

• The diagonals bisect each other, hence

DH = HF and GH = HE

x + 1 = 3y and 3x - 4 = 5y + 1 ⇒ 3x = 5y + 5

Solving the 2 equations simultaneously

x + 1 = 3y → (1)

3x = 5y + 5 → (2)

rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y

x = 3y - 1 → (3)

substitute x = 3y - 1 in (2)

3(3y - 1) = 5y + 5

9y - 3 = 5y + 5 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

4y - 3 = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

4y = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 2

substitute y = 2 into (3)

x = (3 × 2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Hence x = 5, y = 2

The original price of a pair of shoes at Nike Outlet is 109.99 and there is a mark down of 25% because the shop is having a blac
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

27.50

Step-by-step explanation:

109.99=100%

10.999=10%

21.998=20%

27.4975=25%

so they are taking £27.4975 off the original price meaning the new price is £82.4925 but, because it is money, you would need to round this to two decimal places leaving the new price as £82.49

21. Paul has $900 to invest in a savings account that has an annual interest rate of 1.8%, and a money market account that pays
Iteru [2.4K]

The polynomial that gives the interest earned after a year will have variables, exponents and constants that are joined by operators.

  • The interest earned after one year is <u>0.018·x</u>

Reasons:

The amount Paul has to invest = $900

The annual interest rate from the savings account = 1.8%

The amount the money market account pays per year = 4.2 %

Required: The polynomial for the interest Paul earned by investing <em>x</em> dollars in the savings account.

Solution:

The interest earned is found using the compound interest formula as follows;

\displaystyle A = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t}}

Where;

A = The amount in the account after one year

P = The original amount invested = x

r = The interest rate offered on the investment = 1.8% = 0.018

t = The time of the investment = 1 year

n = The number of times of application of the interest per period = Once per year

Which gives;

Interest = Amount earned = A - P

Therefore;

\displaystyle Interest, \ I  = \mathbf{P \cdot \left(1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{n \cdot t} - P}

Plugging in the values gives;

\displaystyle I  = x \cdot \left(1 + \frac{0.018}{1} \right)^{1 \times 1} - x = x \cdot 1.018^1 - x = 1.018 \cdot x - x = 0.018 \cdot x

The polynomial equation is therefore;

Interest, I = 0.018·x

Using the simple interest formula, we have;

\displaystyle Interest = \mathbf{\frac{P \times r \times t}{100}}

Which gives;

\displaystyle Interest = \frac{x \times 1.8 \times 1}{100}  = 0.018 \cdot x

Interest earned by investing in the savings account for one year, I = 0.018·x

  • The polynomial representing the interest earned is <u><em>I</em></u><u> = 0.018·x</u>
