The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold
Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold
Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2
Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3
<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>
Therefore,
Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold
a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:
Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156
2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>
2(8 + b) + 3b = 156
16 + 2b + 3b = 156
16 + 5b = 156
5b = 156 - 16
5b = 140
<h3>b = 28</h3><em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 8 + 28
<h3>a = 36</h3>Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
Answer:
<em>A = $5183.36</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Compound Interest</u>
It occurs when the interest is reinvested rather than paying it out. Interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest.
The formula is:
Where:
A = final amount
P = initial principal balance
r = interest rate
n = number of times interest applied per time period
t = number of time periods elapsed
Abdul deposited P=$4000 into an account with r=2.6% = 0.026 compounded quarterly. Since there are 4 quarters in a year, n=4. We are required to calculate the amount in the account after t=10 years.
Applying the formula:
A = $5183.36
