Answer:
2:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because if we look 8:20 can be turned into 8/20 and if we simply we got 2/5 and turn it into 2:5
Assuming that the two investments are X & Y
X + Y = 6300
X = 6300 - Y (1)
9/100X + 4/100 Y = 372 (2)
replacing X from (1) into (2)
9/100(6300-Y) + 4/100 Y = 372
567 - 9/100Y +4/100Y = 372
(-9+4)/100Y = 372 - 567
5/100Y = -195
Y = 100*195/5 = 3900
From (1) we can get X
X = 6300 - 3900 = 2400

Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!
