The amount of sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car. Victor bought a new car for $30,

Airida [17]

Answer:

Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that

when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.

Let's set this equation:

y=kx

Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.

The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).

We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k. (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).

So we have:

30000=k(1500)

300 =k(15) I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.

Now divide both sides by 15:

300/15=k

Simplify:

20=k

So the equation to use the answer the question is

y=20x

where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.

So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.

So replace x with 2375:

y=20(2375)

y=47500

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+30+9x+42=104

16x+72=104

16x=104-72

16x=32

x=2

SO:

Matthew invested $3,000 into two accounts. One account paid 3% interest and the other paid 8% interest. He earned 4% interest on

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Mathew invested $600 and $2400 in each account.

Solution:

From question, the total amount invested by Mathew is $3000. Let p = $3000.

Mathew has invested the total amount $3000 in two accounts. Let us consider the amount invested in first account as ‘P’

So, the amount invested in second account = 3000 – P

Step 1:

Given that Mathew has paid 3% interest in first account .Let us calculate the simple interest $(I_1)$ earned in first account for one year,

$\text {simple interest}=\frac{\text {pnr}}{100}$

Where

p = amount invested in first account

n = number of years

r = rate of interest

hence, by using above equation we get $(I_1)$ as,

$I_{1}=\frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100}$ ----- eqn 1

Step 2:

Mathew has paid 8% interest in second account. Let us calculate the simple interest $(I_2)$ earned in second account,

$I_{2} = \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100} \text { ------ eqn } 2$

Step 3:

Mathew has earned 4% interest on total investment of $3000. Let us calculate the total simple interest (I)

$I = \frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} ----- eqn 3$

Step 4:

Total simple interest = simple interest on first account + simple interest on second account.

Hence we get,

$I = I_1+ I_2 ---- eqn 4$

By substituting eqn 1 , 2, 3 in eqn 4

$\frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} = \frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100} + \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100}$

$\frac{12000}{100} = \frac{3 P}{100} + \frac{(24000-8 P)}{100}$

12000=3P + 24000 - 8P

5P = 12000

P = 2400

Thus, the value of the variable ‘P’ is 2400

Hence, the amount invested in first account = p = 2400

The amount invested in second account = 3000 – p = 3000 – 2400 = 600

Hence, Mathew invested $600 and $2400 in each account.
