Answer:

They will need to hire 5 testers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a simple rule of three.

For each 10 developers, we need 2.5 testers. So how many testers are needed for 20 developers?

10 developers - 2.5 testers

20 developers - x testes

10x = 20*2.5

10x = 50

x = \frac{50}{10}

x = 5

They will need to hire 5 testers.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of the developers that there were in the company before the hirings, and y the number of testers.

You now that:

\frac{y}{x}  = \frac{2.5}{10}

Then,

y = \frac{2.5x}{10}

Now:

\frac{y + n}{x + 20} = \frac{2.5}{10}

\frac{2.5x}{10} + n = \frac{2.5(x+20)}{10} = \frac{2.5x}{10} + \frac{2.5 * 20}{10}

n =  \frac{2.5 * 20}{10} = 5

Avery and Caden have saved $27,000 towards a down payment on a house. They want to keep some of the money in a bank account that
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is the money they put in the bank and S is the amount they put in the stock fund, then:

B + S = 27000

1.024 B + 1.072 S = 1.06 × 27000

Solving the system of equations:

1.024 (27000 − S) + 1.072 S = 28620

27648 − 1.024 S + 1.072 S = 28620

0.048 S = 972

S = 20250

B = 27000 − S

B = 6750

They should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.
