Answer:

There were 15 cats at the shelter on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of caring each cat = $3.00

Cost for caring each dog = $6.50

Total money spent by shelter = $84.00

Total Cats and Dogs in the shelter = 21

Let the number of cats in the shelter = k

So, the number of dogs in shelter =  21 -k

Also according to the question:

Total expenditure on cats + total expenditure on dogs = $84.00

or, k ($3.00) + (21-k)($6.50)  = $84.00

or, 3k + 136.5 - 6.5 k = 84

or, -3.5 k = 84 - 136.5 = -52.5

⇒3.5 k = 52.5  or k = 52.5/3.5 = 15

⇒  k = 15

Hence, the number of cats in the shelter was 15 on Friday.

Avicenna, a major insurance company, offers five-year life insurance policies to 65-year-olds. If the holder of one of these pol
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to lose ___33__ dollars on each policy sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The amount the company Avicenna must pay to the shareholder if the person die before 70 years = $ 26,500

The value of each policy = $497

It is given that there is a 2% chance that people will die before 70 years and 98% chance that people will live till the age 70.

The expected policy to be sold= policy nominal + chances of death

                                      = 497 + [98% (no pay) + 2% (pay)]

                                     = 497 + [98%(0) + 2%(-26500)]

(The negative sign shows that money goes out of the company)

                                   = 497 - 2% (26500)

                                  = 497 - 530

                                  =33

Therefore the company loses 33 dollar on each policy sold in the long run.
