Answer: green shirts = 6

Blue shirts = 11

Yellow shirts = 4

Red shirts = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Red shirts = 7

Let green shirts be x.

There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. This means:

Blue shirts = x + 5

There are 2 fewer yellow shirts than green shirts. This means:

Yellow shirts = x - 2

There are 28 shirts in total

Red + blue + yellow + green = 28

7 + (x + 5) + (x - 2) + x = 28

7 + x + 5 + x - 2 + x = 28

10 + 3x = 28

3x = 28 - 10

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

There are 6 green shirts

Blue shirts = x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Yellow shirts = x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

Red shirts = 7

When I count as a principal of $1000 and earns 4% simple interest per year and other account as a principal $1000 and earns 4% i
OLga [1]

Answer: the account that earned compound interest has the greater balance at the end of four years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the amount invested.

P represents the principal or amount invested.

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the investment in years.

From the information given,

P = 1000

R = 4%

T = 4 years

I = (1000 × 4 × 4)/100 = 160

Total amount earned is

1000 + 160 = $1160

The formula for determining compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 1000

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 4 years

Therefore,.

A = 1000(1+0.04/1)^1 × 4

A = 1000(1.04)^4

A = $1170
