A number line is used in the mathematical positioning of real numbers that include the numbers from positive infinity to negative infinity. This includes rational, irrational, fractions, and whole numbers. In this case, we are given with an expression that we have to reduce to lowest terms: negative seven and one over two and +1. The first one is equal to -7.5 while the other one is equal to +1. Positive numbers lie on the right side of zero (center of the line) while negative numbers lie on the left on the other hand. -7.5 lies between -8 and -7 while +1 lies exactly between 0 and 2. Both of which are positive numbers.
Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.
1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then
is annual interest income in Fund A.
Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then
is annual interest income in Fund B.
Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

3. Solve the system of equations:

Express x from first equation
and substitute it into the second equation

Multiply this equation by 1000:

Then

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.
Im not that good with these types of problems but i think it is b if my math is correct.
Answer:
Salary = $43,313.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let his salary be x.
Now we're told that;
Pension = 12% of his salary = 0.12x
Health Insurance = 0.3% of salary = 0.003x
Disability Insurance = 0.4% of salary = 0.004x
Since his total contract with benefits is worth $48,814.20
This means that;
x + 0.12x + 0.003x + 0.004x = 48814.2
1.127x = 48814.2
x = 48814.2/1.127
x = $43,313.40
