Mathematics

Answer: the amount of money invested at the 5% rate is $15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 5%.

Let y represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 8%.

Mrs. Mary Moolah invested $20,000 in two different types of bonds. This means that

x + y = 20000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time

Considering the investment at the rate of 5%,

P = x

R = 5

T = 1

I = (x × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05x

Considering the investment at the rate of 8%,

P = y

R = 8

T = 1

I = (y × 8 × 1)/100 = 0.08y

If Mrs. Moolah's combined profit from both investments was $1,150, it means that

0.05x + 0.08y = 1150 - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 20000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.05(20000 - y) + 0.08y = 1150

1000 - 0.05y + 0.08y = 1150

- 0.05y + 0.08y = 1150 - 1000

0.03y = 150

y = 150/0.03 = 5000

Substituting y = 5000 into x = 20000 - y, it becomes

x = 20000 - 5000

x = 15000

Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997, However in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% and
Irina18 [472]

Answer: tea = 15 rupees  per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997": </em>

2 t + 3 s =39 (a)

Where:

  • t= price of 1 kg of tea
  • s = price of 1 kg of sugar

<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30. "</em>

2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)

  • <em>Solving for t in (b) </em>

2t =39-3s

t = (39 -3s)/2

t = 19.5-1.5s

  • <em>Replacing the value of t in (b) </em>

2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30

2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30

48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30

48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s

0.45= 0.15s

0.45/0.15 =s

3 =s

  • <em>Replacing the value of s in (a) </em>

2 t + 3 (3) =39

2 t + 9 =39

2 t =39 -9

2 t =30

t = 30/2

t= 15

Prices in january:

tea = 15 rupees per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
