The ratio of red tacks to blue tacks on the bulletin board is 3 to 5. There are 50 blue tacks. How many red tacks are there?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

If we want our ratio to stay the same (3 to 5), we'll need to pair a set of 3 blue tacks with every set of 5 red tacks. In a group of 50, we can make 10 groups of 5 red tacks, so we'll also need 10 groups of 3 blue tacks, which gives us a total of 30 blue tacks

For uneven cash flows such as those in this problem, there is no formula for "internal rate of return" (IRR). It must be computed graphically or iteratively. Spreadsheets and financial calculators are equipped to do this calculation. Attached is the result of the calculation done by a graphing calculator.
