Answer:

x ≈ 29.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle.

Using the tangent ratio

tan40° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{35}$ ( multiply both sides by 35 )

35 × tan40° = x , then

x ≈ 29.4 ft ( to 1 dec. place )

Caroline and Sarah win some money and share it in the ratio 2:1. Caroline gets £45 more than Sarah. How much did Sarah get?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of 2:1....total of 3....so caroline gets 2/3 of the money and sarah gets 1/3 of the money. Let the total amount of money be x.

so caroline = 2/3x and sarah = 1/3x

caroline gets 45 more then sarah

2/3x = 1/3x + 45

2/3x - 1/3x = 45

1/3x = 45

x = 45 * 3

x = 135.....so the total money is $ 135

caroline gets 2/3 of it.......2/3(135) = 270/3 = $ 90

sarah gets 1/3 of it......1/3(135) = 135/3 = $ 45 <===

Monica deposits $400 into a savings account that pays a simple interest rate of 4.4%. Paul deposits $500 into a savings accou

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

From the above calculation it is clear that The interest earn by Monica is less than the The interest earn by Paul , so Monica is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The principal amount deposited by Monica in account = $ 400

The rate of interest = 4.4 % at simple interest

The time period = 1 years

Let The interest earn by Monica = $ x

<u>From simple interest </u>

Simple Interest = $\dfrac{\textrm principal\times \textrm rate\times \textrm time}{100}$

Or, $ x = $\dfrac{\textrm $ 400\times \textrm 4.4\times \textrm 1}{100}$

Or, x = $ 17.6

So, The interest earn by Monica = x = $ 17.6

Again

The principal amount deposited by Paul in account = $ 500

The rate of interest = 3.6 % at simple interest

The time period = 1 years

Let The interest earn by Paul = $ y

<u>From simple interest </u>

Simple Interest = $\dfrac{\textrm principal\times \textrm rate\times \textrm time}{100}$

Or, $ y = $\dfrac{\textrm $ 500\times \textrm 3.6\times \textrm 1}{100}$

Or, y = $ 18

So, The interest earn by Paul = y = $ 18

∴ As The interest earn by Paul $>$ The interest earn by Monica

Hence from the above calculation it is clear that The interest earn by Monica is less than the The interest earn by Paul , so Monica is wrong Answer
