Hi,
I think this is the table, correct?
Number of Tubes 3 5 7
Cost ($) 12 20 28
we can calculate the prize as the number of tubes multiplied by 4:
3*4=12
5*4=20
7*4=28
which means that one tube costs 4 dollars!
However, in the store A two tubes cost 7, which means that one costs half of this -3.5
So Store B is more expensive (4 dollars per 4 rather than 3.5 as in Store A).
X<12
<span>5(x+5)<85 </span>
<span>5(x + 5)/5 < 85/5 </span>
<span>x + 5 < 17 </span>
<span>x + 5 - 5 < 17 - 5</span>
Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.
1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then
is annual interest income in Fund A.
Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then
is annual interest income in Fund B.
Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

3. Solve the system of equations:

Express x from first equation
and substitute it into the second equation

Multiply this equation by 1000:

Then

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.
It would be 75 after the sale. Hope it helps! :)
