Answer:

13,846\ cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ice cream cones sold 5 years ago

Remember that

100\%+30\%=130\%=130/100=1.3

we know that

Sales 5 years ago, multiplied by the 30% increase should equal 18,000 ice cream cones.

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

1.30x=18,000

Solve for x

Divide by 1.3 both sides

x=13,846\ cones

Maggie has $14,100 to invest, and wishes to gain $4,000 in interest over the next eight years. Approximately what is the minimum
julsineya [31]
Simple interest doesn't compound, so we just find the interest she needs by dividing 4,000 by 8, and then divide that number by her principal to find the rate of interest. 

4,000 ÷ 8 = 500
She needs 500 dollars per year in interest. 

800 ÷ 14,100 = .0355 = 3.55%

Answer is B

A right triangle's height is 3 times the length of its base. if the area of the triangle is 600, what is the height?
Anon25 [30]
  <span>a = 1/2 x b x h 

h = 3b 

so 1/2 x b x 3b = (1/2)(3b^2) = 150 

(150 x 2)/3 = b^2 

100 = b^2 

b = square root of 100 = 10 

h = 3b = 3 x 10 = 30</span>
