Answer: 5.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the money invested has grown to $8300 and the principal was $600, this means the interest is:
= $8300 - $6500
= $1800
Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
1800 = (6500 × Rate × 5)/100
Cross multiply
1800 × 100 = 32500 × Rate
Rate = 180000/32500
Rate = 5.5%
Answer:
The cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price for hardback book and y be the price for paperback book.
Mr. Yamamoto purchased 42 new hardcover books and 64 new paperback books, which cost a total of $698.
We can write the equation as:

He also purchased 42 new hardcover books and 58 new paperback books, which cost a total of $668.
We can write the equation as:

We have to use the elimination method to solve the two equations.
We eliminate x by subtracting the two equations.

Thus, the cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.
Answer:
x = 4; y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2x
y=x+4
2x = x + 4
x = 4
y = 2x = 2(4)
y = 8
Solution: x = 4; y = 8
8.4 because 6 would round up to 10 and 10+30 =40 for 8.40 or just 8.4
