Answer:
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- t = the number of taffy bags
- c = the number of caramel bags
- Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
- Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
- Total weight is 400 ounces
<u>Equations:</u>
- t = c + 5 (the difference in number of bags)
- 8t + 16c = 400 (the weight of the bags)
<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>
<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>
- c + 5 + 2c = 50
- 3c = 50 - 5
- 3c = 45
- c = 45/3
- c = 15
<u>Find the value of t:</u>
<u>Answer:</u>

Answer:
J Compound interest; $298.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest compounding pays interest on the interest. For the same annual rate, any amount of compounding will earn more interest.
For short time periods, the effect of compounding is not great. In general, it will be a fraction of the equivalent simple interest rate. Here, the effective multiplier for annual compounding is ...
1.051^4 = 1.22024337
and the effective multiplier for simple interest is ...
1 +0.051·4 = 1.204
Then the difference in interest rate multiplier for the 4-year period is ...
1.22024337 -1.204 = 0.01614337
That fraction of the $18500 principal is $298.65.
Compound interest earns $298.65 more than simple interest in this scenario.
Hope this helps, have an amazing day!
