Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say s is the cost per pound of strawberry and b is banana.

For Annie we have 9s + 10b = 103.

For Rob we have 9s + 9b = 99.

If you notice the only thing that changes on the left hand sides is a single b. This causes a change of 4 on the right hand side. From this we can see that b = 4. Substituting b=4 in Annie's line we get 9s + 40 = 103 so 9s = 63 so s = 7.

Strawberry costs $7 per pound and banana costs $4 per pound

What is the calculation for determining simple interest and compound interest? Borrowing if borrowed $20,000 for 5 years at a 4%
yarga [219]

Answer:

If using simple interest, the formula is:

= Amount * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4% * 5)

= $24,000

Interest = Balance after 5 years - Investment

= 24,000 - 20,000

= $4,000

Using Compound Interest:

= Amount * ( 1 + rate)^time

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4%)⁵

= $24,333.06

Interest = 24,333.06 - 20,000

= $4,333.06

12x + 4 divided by 4 plus 20x + 5 divided by 5
Rasek [7]
12x + 4 ➗ 4 + 20x + 5 ➗ 5

1. PEMDAS (order of operations) solve the division problems

(4 divided by 4 & 5 divided by 5)
12x + 1 + 20x + 1

2. Swap around the order of operations as commutative property states that you can swap the order of an addition problem and get the same answer.

12x + 20x + 1 + 1

3. Add like terms

32x + 2

This is the most simplified answer you could get as you can not add 32x and 2 as they are not like terms.
