Answer:

You can buy 32 pens for £8.

Step-by-step explanation:

12÷3 = 4 ---> which means you get 4 pens for £1.

since you get 4 pens for £1, you need to multiply 4x8 to find how many pens you can buy for £8.

4x8 = 32.

You can buy 32 pens for £8.

hope this helps !

have an amazing day : )

A business has two loans totaling $50,000. One loan has a rate of 8% and the other has a rate of 12%. This year, the business ex

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

the 8% loan has a principal of $37500

the 12% loan has a principal of $12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by writing the general equation for the interest hwre I is the interest, P is the principal (in our case would be loan amounts), "r" is the interest rate in decimal form (in our case one would be 0.12, and the other one 0.08), and t is the time in years (in our case 1 year).

$I=P*r*t$

Then we write the interest equation coming from each loan at the end of this year (we call I1 the interest coming from the 12% loan and I2 the interest coming from the 8% one). Since we don't know the loan amounts (in fact those are what we need to find) we will name one "x" and the other "y":

$I=P*r*t\\I1=x * 0.12*1\\I2=y*0.08*1$

Next, we add these last two equations term by term, and replace the addition of both interests by $4500 as given in the information:

$I1=x * 0.12*1\\I2=y*0.08*1\\I1+I2 = 0.12x+0.08y\\4500=0.12x+0.08y$

This is our first equation in the variables x and y which are our unknowns.

Now we generate the second equation on x and y by writing in agebraic terms the other piece of information we have: "the total of the two loans is $50000. That is the addition of the principals x and y should equal $50000:

$x+y=50000$

We solve for y in this last equation and replace its form in terms of x in the equation of the interest, and solve for the unknown x:

$y=50000-x\\4500 = 0.12x +0.08 y\\4500=0.12x+0.08(50000-x)\\4500=0.12x+4000-0.08x\\4500=0.12x-0.08x+4000\\4500=0.04x+4000\\4500-4000=0.04x\\500=0.04x\\x=\frac{500}{0.04} =12500$

Therefore the amount of the loan at 12% is $12500

Now to find the amount of the second loan "y" we use the equation for the totals of the loans:

$x+y=50000\\12500+y=50000\\y=50000-12500=37500$

Therefore, the loan at 8% is $37500

Solve with interval notation Solve: 5 | x − 2 | + 4 > 8

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x<6/5, x>14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps

$5\left|x-2\right|+4>8$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$5\left|x-2\right|+4-4>8-4$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5\left|x-2\right|>4$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\frac{5\left|x-2\right|}{5}>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$\left|x-2\right|>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:>\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:<\:-a\:\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:u\:>\:a$

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x-2>\frac{4}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x<\frac{6}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2>\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x>\frac{14}{5}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:intervals}$

$x<\frac{6}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x>\frac{14}{5}$
