Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

In preparation for the Senior Prom, 8 seniors got together and decided to travel in style and rent a limousine. They investigate
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>The limousine will cost $240.
$180 for the first three hours, plus 30 for each hour after. They need two extra hours.
So, 180+30(2)=240.
They also want to leave a $20 dollar tip.
So, 240+20=260
That is $260 dollars they need to pay altogether.
Divide that number by the number of students and you'll get how much they each must pay.
260/8=32.50

$32.50 each.

Use the formula for computing future value using compound interest to determine the value of an account at the end of 6 years if
nadezda [96]

Answer: the value of the account at the end of 6 years is is $8577

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 6000

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 4 because it was compounded 4 times in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 6000(1+0.06/4)^4 × 6

A = 6000(1+0.015)^24

A = 6000(1.015)^24

A = $8577
