Total investment = $10,500
Let x = amount of first investment, and y the amount of the second investment.
First investment:
Interest rate = 9 (1/5)% = 0.092
Earned interest = 0.092x
Second investment:
Interest rate = 9% = 0.09
Earned interest = 0.09y
Total interest after one year is $957.00, therefore
0.092x + 0.09y = 957
or
1.0222x + y = 10633.33 (1)
Also,
x + y = 10500 (2)
Subtract (2) from (1).
0.0222x = 133.33
x = 6000
y = 10500 - x = 4500
Answer:
The first investment is $6,000 at 9 (1/5)% rate;
The second investment is $4,500 at 9% rate.
19 people take the elevator. it’s just asking for the total of people who take the elevator.
Answer:
8 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Total gas in the car = 14 gallons
Each hour gas usage = 1.5 gallons
Total hours traveled = 4 hours
Left gas after 4 hours
= 14-1.5(4)
=14-6
=8 gallons
Left gas after t hours
=14-1.5t
Hence the answer is after 4 hours, 8 gallons are left after t hour(s) 14-1.5t
Answer:
rate of the plane in still air is 33 miles per hour and the rate of the wind is 11 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We will make a table of the trip there and back using the formula distance = rate x time
d = r x t
there
back
The distance there and back is 264 miles, so we can split that in half and put each half under d:
d = r x t
there 132
back 132
It tells us that the trip there is with the wind and the trip back is against the wind:
d = r x t
there 132 = (r + w)
back 132 = (r - w)
Finally, the trip there took 3 hours and the trip back took 6:
d = r * t
there 132 = (r + w) * 3
back 132 = (r - w) * 6
There's the table. Using the distance formula we have 2 equations that result from that info:
132 = 3(r + w) and 132 = 6(r - w)
We are looking to solve for both r and w. We have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so we will solve the first equation for r, sub that value for r into the second equation to solve for w:
132 = 3r + 3w and
132 - 3w = 3r so
44 - w = r. Subbing that into the second equation:
132 = 6(44 - w) - 6w and
132 = 264 - 6w - 6w and
-132 = -12w so
w = 11
Subbing w in to solve for r:
132 = 3r + 3(11) and
132 = 3r + 33 so
99 = 3r and
r = 33
X = (-18) × 4
X = -72
The cave is 72 feet below sea level.
