Answer:
9x + 3 = 7x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.
He arranged the chairs in 9 equal rows but had 3 chairs left over.
Let x be the number of chairs. So,
9x+3 .....(1)
Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows but had 19 chairs left over. So,
7x+19 ......(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
9x+3 = 7x+19
9x-7x = 19-3
2x = 16
x = 8
Hence, the correct option is (b).
X 6
i’m pretty sure this is right
25.02-24=1.02
1.02/24=0.0425
The sales tax rate is 4.25%.
4/9, is your answer.
Both numerator and denominator can go into 5.
20 divided by 5 is 4, 45 divide by 5 is 9.
Answer:
17.5% per annum
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Money invested = $20,000 at the age of 20 years.
Money expected to be $500,000 at the age of 40.
Time = 40 - 20 = 20 years
<em>Interest is compounded annually.</em>
<u>To find:</u>
Rate of growth = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for compound interest.

Where A is the amount after T years compounding at a rate of R% per annum. P is the principal amount.
Here, We are given:
P = $20,000
A = $500,000
T = 20 years
R = ?
Putting all the values in the formula:
![500000 = 20000 \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{500000}{20000} =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow 25 =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt[20]{25} =1+\frac{R}{100}\\\Rightarrow 1.175 = 1+0.01R\\\Rightarrow R \approx17.5\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500000%20%3D%2020000%20%5Ctimes%20%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cdfrac%7B500000%7D%7B20000%7D%20%3D%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%2025%20%3D%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Csqrt%5B20%5D%7B25%7D%20%3D1%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%201.175%20%3D%201%2B0.01R%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20R%20%5Capprox17.5%5C%25)
So, the correct answer is
<em>17.5% </em>per annum and compounding annually.
