<u>Solution-</u>
Let's assume, the rate of interest of $8000 is x%,
then the rate of interest of $17000 is (x+0.3x) =1.3x%
Interest earned by $8000,

Interest earned by $17,000,

According to the question,





∴ Rate of interest of $8000 is 1.96% and rate of interest of $17000 is (1.3×1.96) =2.55%
The answer should be 25.64$
You multiple that by 8% and then what you get out of it you add on to what you got as the total .
Answer:
I'm assuming it would be 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be 3 hours because after three hours, the candle that can only burn for 3 hours will have burned out. This leaves the candles that can burn for 4 and 5 hours. I guess if you want to get really specific you could say 3 hours and 59 minutes but I'm not totally sure how your teacher wants the answer
1. 50
2. 154
3. 28
These would be your answers
x+y = 47
x-y = 21
------------ add together
2x =68 divide by 2
x=34
x+y = 47
34+ y = 47
subtract 34 from each side
y = 13
the two numbers are 34 and 13
