The budget is $4,240.

There are 164 kittens and 24 puppies.
Let
x = amount spent on each kitten
y =  amount spent on each puppy.

The cost for each puppy is twice a much as that for a kitten. Therefore
y = 2x                  (1)

The available amount is $4,240, therefore
164x + 24y = 4240          (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
164x + 24(2x) = 4240
212x = 4240
x = $20
y = 2x = $40

Answer: $40 for each puppy.

tigry1 [53]

Answer: 59.27% and 4.77%.

Explanation:

Given that,

In the year 2009:

Japanese adult non-institutionalized population = 110.272 million

Labor force = 65.362 million

Number of people employed = 62.242 million

Japanese labor-force participation rate = \frac{Total\ labor\ force}{Total\ population}

                                                                  =\frac{65.362}{110.272}

                                                                  = 0.5927 or 59.27%

Unemployment rate = \frac{Total\ labor\ force - Number\ of\ people\ employed }{Total\ labor\ force}\times100

                               = \frac{65.362 - 62.242}{65.362}\times100

                               = 4.77%

1. A major controversy that is yet to be resolved about the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 200
qaws [65]

Answer:

C. What the program will ultimately cost the federal government

Explanation:

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 was an attempt to make improvements or amendments to the Social Security Act.  It radically changed the playing field for private plans participating in the Medicare program by substantially raising monthly payment rates in an effort to stabilize the market and reverse the decline in benefit generosity.  It also provided for voluntary prescription drugs under the medicare program.  However, the utilization and cost of the program skyrocketed as soon as the funding source was established.  It has remained unknown what the program will ultimately cost the federal government, no wonder the current administration under Trump wants to turn it upside down.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

increase, decrease

Explanation:

In simple words, when the tax was imposed on the product the company will ultimately bear it to the final consumer which means the price will rise. However when the price of the product rises the demand for that product decreases due to the fact that many individuals would not be able to buy it now from their limited income, this phenomenon is called price elasticity due to income.
