(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:

1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x

x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g

Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)

Hope this Helps! :)

3/4 = .75

.75 x 14 = 10.5 = 10 1/2

convert to grams = 10.5 * 450 = 4,725 grams

so he needs to cook a 10 1/2 lbs or 4,725 grams turkey for 14 people to allow 3/4 lbs each person.

Gavin has $7,500 to invest. He is considering two investment options. Option A pays 4% simple interest. Option B pays 3.15% inte

Leviafan [203]

Solution:

Principal =P= $ 7,500

Option A→(Simple interest)

Rate of interest= R=4%

Time( $T_{1}$ )=4 years

Time( $T_{2}$ )=6 years

Amount= Principal + Interest(Simple or compound interest)

Formula for Simple interest

$S.I=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$

$S.I_{1}=\frac{7500 *4*4}{100}=1200\\\\ S.I_{2}=\frac{7500 *4*6}{100}=1800$

Total amount after 4 years when interest is simple= 7500 +1200= $ 8700

Total amount after 6 years when interest is simple= 7500 +1800= $ 9300

Option B

Formula for amount(A) when interest is 3.15% compounded annually.

$A=P*(1+\frac{R}{100})^t$

$A_{4}=7500*(1+\frac{3.15}{100})^4\\\\ A_{4}=7500*(\frac{103.15}{100})^4\\\\ A_{4}=7500*(1.0315)^4\\\\ A_{4}=7500*1.1320\\\\ A_{4}=8490.60$

$A_{6}=7500*(1+\frac{3.15}{100})^6\\\\ A_{6}=7500*(\frac{103.15}{100})^6\\\\ A_{6}=7500*(1.0315)^6\\\\ A_{6}=7500*1.2045\\\\ A_{6}=9033.9286$

Total amount after 4 years when interest is compounded annually=$ 8491 (approx)

Total amount after 6 years when interest is compounded annually=$ 9034(approx)
