Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings.If they each save $10 more Eli will have saved &4 more than Angela's savi

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8, that is, one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to eliminate the E: Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8) = E - E

$\frac{2}{3}$ A - 4 = 0

$\frac{2}{3}$ A = 4

A = 4 × $\frac{3}{2}$ = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.

could you possibly help me with this question? (its not part of a graded assignment, just a review from an online course of mine

Virty [35]

Let:

x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.

Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.

Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10

The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.

We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.

Equating both costs:

0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)

Operating:

0.8x + 10 = 8 + x

Subtracting x and 10:

0.8x - x = 8 - 10

Simplifying:

-0.2x = -2

Dividing by -0.2:

x = -2/(-0.2)

x = 10

Answer: 10 pounds

What is the interest rate of each investment if The annual interest on a $17,000 investment exceeds the interest earned on an $8

Butoxors [25]

Solution-

Let's assume, the rate of interest of $8000 is x%,

then the rate of interest of $17000 is (x+0.3x) =1.3x%

Interest earned by $8000,

$i_1=\frac{8000\times x\times 1}{100} =80x$

Interest earned by $17,000,

$i_2=\frac{17000\times 1.3x\times 1}{100} =221x$

According to the question,

$\Rightarrow i_1=i_2+276$

$\Rightarrow 221x=80x+276$

$\Rightarrow 221x-80x=276$

$\Rightarrow 141x=276$

$\Rightarrow x=1.96$

∴ Rate of interest of $8000 is 1.96% and rate of interest of $17000 is (1.3×1.96) =2.55%
