This is a system of equations problem.

Blueberry = X, blackberry = Y

Joe:
5x + 10y = 135

James:
x + 9y = 104

Let’s isolate x from James’ equation.
x = 104 - 9y

Now substitute that into the first equation.
5(104 - 9y) + 10y = 135

520 - 45y + 10y = 135

-35y = -385

y = -385/-35. The negatives cancel out, leaving us with $11 for blackberries.

Now we can substitute that value into James’s equation.

x + 9(11) = 104

x = 104 - 99

x = $5

Final answer: Blueberry pies cost $5, blackberry pies cost $11.

If $206.40 amounts to<br>$237.36 in 2 years, find the<br>rate of simple interest per<br>annum​
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The interest rate is 7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You get the difference from the new number and the original. In this case, it is 30.96.  I then divided the original by  30.96. The answer turned out to be .15. I doubled checked my answer by timing the original by .15 and adding it. But, I had to divide .15 by 2 so I could get the amount per year. So, it would be 7.5% per year of interest.

Identify the 17th term of a geometric sequence where a1 = 16 and a5 = 150.06. Round the common ratio and 17th term to the neares
Pepsi [2]
a_5=ra_4=r^2a_3=r^3a_2=r^4a_1\iff150.06=16r^4\implies r\approx\pm1.75

Regardless of the sign of the common ratio, then, you will have

a_{17}=r^{16}a_1\approx16(\pm1.75)^{16}\approx123802.31

The actual term would be closer to 123794 if you didn't have to round.
