The zoo downtown has 9 times as many monkeys as elephants. They have 60 animals all together. How many elephants are there?

2 answers:

Answer: There’s technically no answer to this question, unless you specify that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants. If the zoo has more than two types of animal then the ratio doesn’t help because there are unknown variables.

However, if we knew that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants, then:

E = number of elephants

M = number of monkeys

M=9E

M + E = 60

9E+E= 60

10E = 60

E = 6

There are 6 elephants (and 54 monkeys).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

e = number of elephants

9 times as many monkeys as elephants

m = 9e

------------------------

60 animals all together

e + m = 60

e + 9e = 60

Combine like terms

10e = 60

Divide both sides by 10

e = 6

The Henley's took out a loan for $195,000 to purchase a home. At a 4.3% interest rate

ella [17]

Interest paid after 30 years is $494,546.99.

Solution:

Principal (P) = $195,000

Interest rate (r) = 4.3%

Time (t) = 30 years

n = number of times interest calculated per year

n = 1

Compound interest formula:

$$A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}$

where A is the final amount

$$A=195000\left(1+\frac{4.3\%}{1}\right)^{1\times 30}$

$$A=195000\left(1+\frac{4.3}{100}\right)^{30}$

$$A=195000\left(\frac{100+4.3}{100}\right)^{30}$

$$A=195000\left(\frac{104.3}{100}\right)^{30}$

A = 689546.99

Interest = Amount - Principal

= 689546.99 - 195000

= 494546.99

Interest paid after 30 years is $494,546.99.

The Floyds have considered three options to ensure they have at least $1,375 saved for their trip.

ANTONII [103]

I am guessing you are talking about Option 3. They start with $125. So they times it by 1.25 as we are using the multiplier method. So in the First month, it will be 156.25. Second it will be 195.3125. So in August it will be $476.837157. Of couse round it and you will get $476.84.

I believe there is a more efficent way of doing this but I have forgotten.
