Answer:
4 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 12-a, and their difference is ...
a - (12-a) = -4
2a = 8 . . . . add 12
a = 4 . . . . . divide by 2
12-a = 8 . . . . find the other number
The two numbers are 4 and 8.

Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Jar contains 200 old dimes
Chances to pick the 1960s is 20% i.e. 1960s is 20% of 200 old dimes
So, we can write
i think the answer is 8
bc the small one is 4 and the big one is 6
and the other one is 6 so it must be 8
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
