Answer:
The answer to your question is: first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
total length = 24 inches
first piece = x in
second piece = 2x
third piece = 3x
Equation
x + 2x + 3x = 24
6x = 24
x = 24/6
x = 4 length of the first piece
second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches
third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches
The annual return percentages will be evaluated using the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=amount
P=principle
r=rate
n=time
a] A=$500, P=$400, n=1 years
500=400(1+r)^1
solving for r we shall obtain:
1.25=1+r
hence
r=1.25-1
r==0.25
annual rate of investment is 25%
b] A=2500+100=$2600, P=$ 2000, n=1 year
hence
2600=2000(1+r)^1
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
r=1.3-1
r=0.3
annual rate of investment is 30%
Answer:
80 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assigning "a" as cost of adult tickets and "c" the cost of children's tickets.
3a + 4c = 107
2a + 3c = 76
elimination method
2(3a + 4c = 107)
-3(2a + 3c = 76)
6a + 8c = 214
-6a - 9c = -228
----------------------
0 - c = - 14
c = 14
Then 2a + 3(14) = 76
2a = 76 - 42
2a = 34
a = 34/2
a = 17
