One bag of popcorn would cost $6.50

To solve this, we can set up equations:
28p+40c=$282
17p+20c=$160.50

To solve this system, we would need to make either the candy bars the same or the bags of popcorn the same. Since we are solving for bags of popcorn, we will make the candy bars the same:
20(28p+40c=$282)
40(17p+20c=$160.50)

Which would give you:
560p+800c=$5,640
680p+800c=$6,420

Subtract them:
 (680p+800c=$6,420)
-(560p+800c=$5,640)
_________________
120p=$780

Now divide by 120 to get the price of one bag of popcorn:
120p=$780
_________
       120

p=$6.50

You have $55,000 in savings account that pays 2% intrest per year. The inflation rate that year is 3.24%. How much do you make i
Sever21 [200]
Your interest formula is given to you.

Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)

Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.

Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782

How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.
Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power.

Hope that helped :)

I need please help. thank you
Travka [436]

15. She bought:

3 jeans, $20 each

1 pants, $18

You find the total: 3(20) + 1(18) = $78 then you apply the discount

Since this is between 50-100, you use the 38% discount (decimal form: 0.38)

38% is being subtracted from your total, so you can do this:

100% - 38% = 62%      This is your total after the discount

78(0.62) = 48.36   Your answer is C

16. D   Income is the $ you make from your job

17. A    Budgeting helps you organize and limit your spending and meet financial goals

18. C    Liabilities impacts you negatively, since you have debts to pay off

19. A
