Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
b is at 15
n is at 10
hence -15 - -10=5
positive 5 btw
Answer:
I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest:
I = P*r*t
I = interest
P = principle or amount invested
r = interest rate per period (period is a year)
t = number of periods
P = 4920
r = .13
t = 8

Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900
Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%
method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800
You line them up from smallest to greatest
