Jenny bakes 10 cookies. she puts 7 chocolate chips on each cookie draw a tape diagram and label the total amount
When I solved this problem I got x=-3/5
It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height
Step-by-step explanation:
A gardener is planting two types of trees:
- Type A is 3 feet tall and grows at a rate of 7 inches per year
- Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 1 inches per year
We need to find in how many years it will take for these trees to be the
same height
Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height
The height of a tree = initial height + rate of grow × number of years
Type A:
∵ The initial height = 3 feet
∵ 1 foot = 12 inches
∴ The initial height = 3 × 12 = 36 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 7 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴
= 36 + (7) x
∴
= 36 + 7 x
Type B:
∵ The initial height = 5 feet
∴ The initial height = 5 × 12 = 60 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 1 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴
= 60 + (1) x
∴
= 60 + x
Equate
and 
∴ 36 + 7 x = 60 + x
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 36 + 6 x = 60
- Subtract 36 from both sides
∴ 6 x = 24
- Divide both sides by 6
∴ x = 4
∴ The two trees will be in the same height in 4 years
It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height

The investment in Fund B is $2000.
To understand the given question we first have to understand the logic of percentage and how it affect the return on Investment.
If an investment fund returns a profit on an investment then the profit is calculated by multiplying the investment with the profit(in decimal form).
For Example: If the investment is A and profit is x % then the profit is calculated by:
Profit =A×(
)
Now in the given problem, let us consider the amount of investment into the Fund B be x.
Profit in Fund B=10%
Profit in Fund A is 3%.
Investment in Fund A=$5000
Total profit from both investments=3% of 5000+10% of x

Now the total investment=5000+x
The combined profit for both the Investments is 150+0.1x
But the combined profit is 5% for both investments.
profit=

Now the profit is same, so if we equate both the expressions of profit we get a linear equation in x.

Thus we can conclude that she invested $2000 in the Fund B.
