Answer:
- $17,500 at 8%
- $17,500 at 14%
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction that needs to be invested at the higher rate is ...
(11% - 8%)/(14% -8%) = 3%/6% = 1/2
Half the money should be invested at each of the rates:
$17,500 for 8% return
$17,500 for 14% return.
_____
If you let x represent the amount at the higher rate, then the total return is ...
14%x + 8%(35000 -x) = 11%(35000)
(14% -8%)x = (11% -8%)(35000) . . . . subtract 8%·35000
x = (11% -8%)/(14% -8%)×35000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that this formula is exactly the one we started with, above.
1 and 1/4 cup of raisins and 2 and 1/2 cups of nuts for a total of 3 and 3/4 cups.
Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
so, a triangle is 180 degrees. you know that one angle is 60 degrees.
180= 60+ 2x + x
this is the equation of the triangle
120=3x
simplify
40=x
x= 40 degrees
hope this helps :)

Answer:
(b) 1.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2Pa
For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...
A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'
__
Solving for the apothem, we find ...
a = A/(3s)
For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...
a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches
The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
