Sea level is 0
robert dives 40 ft.....-40
he then rises 23 ft.....-40 + 23 = -17
he then dives 19 ft to meet Sam....-17 - 19 = -36
together they rise 31 ft...-36 + 31 = - 5
they are 5 ft below sea level <==
The answer would be 39.84
Subtract 100,000 by 82,052
If you do this correctly the answer would be 17,948 dollars.
Let's use the variable "r" to represent the investment rate of the stocks:
2r(500) + r(800) = 45
1000r + 800r = 45
1800r = 45
r = 0.025
2r = 0.05
The $500 is invested at 5%
