B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of reading 100 pages of sociology is forfeiting 40 pages (2 hours) of economics.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
12x-14=4x+10
Subtract 4x from each side
12x-4x-14=4x-4x+10
8x - 14 = 10
Add 14 to each side
8x - 14+14 = 10+14
8x = 24
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 24/8
x = 3
Answer: $787 was originally borrowed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the loan.
P represents the principal or amount taken as loan
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the loan in years.
From the information given,
Total amount = $1181.05
Interest = total amount - principal
I = 1181.05 - P
R = 15%
T = 1 year
Therefore,
1181.05 - P
Therefore,
1181.05 - P = (P × 15 × 1)/100
1181.05 - P = 0.15P
P + 0.15P = 1181.0
1.5P = 1181.05
P = 1181.05/1.5
P = $787
The answer is 7x = 6(x + 15)
x - Jim's rate
y - Pete's rate
<span>Jim completed half the floor in 7 hours: 7x = half of the floor
</span><span>Pete completed the other half of the floor in 6 hours: 6y = half of the floor
So: 7x = 6y
</span><span>Pete can lay 15 more tiles per hour than Jim: y = x + 15
</span>7x = 6y
y = x + 15
Substitute the second equation into the first one:
7x = 6(x + 15)
1800×6.5%×30=b
b-1800=a
a) $1,710
b) $3,510
