Answer: The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chicken wrap be x

Let the cost of one order of potatoes be y.

From the question,

3x + 2y = $42.95 ...... equation i

5x + 4y = $74.91 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 3

15x + 10y = $214.75 ..... equation iii

15x + 12y = $224.73 ....... equation iv

Subtract equation iv from equation iii. This will be:

-2y = -$9.98

y = $9.98/2

y = $4.99

Since 3x + 2y = $42.95

3x + 2($4.99) = $42.95

3x + $9.98 = $42.95

3x = $42.95 - $9.98

3x = $32.97

x = $32.97/3

x = $10.99

The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

George wants to invest $20,000 One investment pays interest at a rate of 18 2/3% while another pays interest at a rate of 0.1872
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

George investment principal = $20,000

The Rate of interest  (R1)   = 18 \frac{2}{3} % = \frac{56}{3} %

I.e   R1 = 18.67 %

Again The The Rate of interest  (R2)  = 0.1872  = 18.72 %

Let the time period for both rate of interest = 1 years

Now from compound interest method

Amount = Principal × (1 + \frac{Rate}{100})^{Time}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.67}{100})^{1}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1867

∴       A 1 = $ 23,734

And   A 2 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.72}{100})^{1}

Or,     A 2 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1872

∴        A 2 = $ 23,744

Hence From the calculation of both amount it is clear that , investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better . Answer
