A Family spends 240.00 per week on food. If this is 16% of their income, what is the families weekly income?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: The family's weekly income is $1500

-------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

x = weekly income (in dollars)

16% of x = amount spent on food per week
16% of x = 240
(16/100)*x = 240
0.16*x = 240
0.16*x/0.16 = 240/0.16
x = 1500

3. In the fig. AD = DC and AB = BC. Prove that ΔADB = ΔCDB<br>

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

The given parameters are;

$\overline {AD}$ = $\overline {DC}$ and $\overline {AB}$ = $\overline {BC}$

Statement ${}$ Reason

$\overline {AD}$ = $\overline {DC}$ and $\overline {AB}$ = $\overline {BC}$ ${}$ Given

$\overline {BD}$ ≅ $\overline {BD}$ ${}$ Reflexive property

$\overline {BD}$ = $\overline {BD}$ ${}$ By the definition of congruency

ΔADB ≅ ΔCDB ${}$ By Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency

ΔADB = ΔCDB ${}$ By the definition of congruency

If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, then both triangles are said to be congruent according to the SSS rule of congruency

Ms. Hagan invested twice as much money in an account that pays 7% interest as she did in an account that pays 6% in interest. He

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: She invested $5000 in an account that pays 6% interest and $10000 in an account that pays 7% interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be the initial amount she invested in an account that pays 6% interest.

Then, amount invested in other account = 2P

Simple interest = Principal x rate x time

After one year, for the first account,

Interest = P(0.06)(1) = 0.06P

For second account,

Interest = (2P)(0.07)(1)=0.14P

Total interest = $0.06P+0.14P=1000$

$\Rightarrow\ 0.20P=1000\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{1000}{0.20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=5000$

2P = 2(5000)=10000

Hence, She invested $5000 in an account that pays 6% interest and $10000 in an account that pays 7% interest.
