(25000-f)(.03)+.05f=1100
750-.03f+.05f=1100
750+.02f=1100
.02f=350
f=$17500
So Mary invested $17500 @ 5% and 7500 at 3% to earn $1100 in interest.
A) 9 : 5
B) 5( 36/9) which is 20 ounces of lemonade concentrate
12 1/4 because the original answer is 12 3/12 but you should simplify it to 12 1/4.
Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>
