Answer:
A tangent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
The initial amount of the money is £11,000 and the interest is 3.9% per year for first 3 years and then 4.5% after that. If Dan invests it for 7 years, that means the interest would be 3 years of 3.9% and 4 years of 4.5%.
The calculation would be:
total money= initial amount * interestrate1 * interest 2
total money= £11000 *(100%+3.9%)^3<span>*(100%+4.5%)^4
</span>total money= £11000 *(103.9%)^3 * (104.5%)^4
total money= £11000 * <span>1.121622319 </span>* 1.1925186
total money= £14,713.11
The answer to the question is A
