Answers:

Larger bottle = 44 gallons

Smaller bottle = 33 gallons

=====================================================

Explanation:

L = capacity of larger bottle

S = capacity of smaller bottle

Capacities are in gallons

We're told the ratio of these capacities is 4 to 3, meaning L/S = 4/3. Note how L goes first on top since 4 is the first number and it's larger than 3.

Cross multiply to get 3L = 4S. We can solve for S to get S = 3L/4.

----------------------------

We're also told that the larger bottle has 11 more gallons than the smaller one, so,

Larger = Smaller + 11

L = S+11

L = (3L/4) + 11 .... plug in S = 3L/4

4L = 4*(3L/4) + 4*11 ... multiply every term by 4

4L = 3L + 44 .... the fraction goes away afterward

4L-3L = 44 .... subtract 3L from both sides

L = 44

The larger bottle can hold 44 gallons

S = 3L/4

S = 3*44/4

S = 3*11

S = 33

The smaller bottle can hold 33 gallons

Note that L-S = 44-33 = 11 to show there's an 11 gallon difference between the larger and smaller bottles. We can also see that L/S = 4/3 is also true because 44/33 = 4/3. This confirms our answers.

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $32,960.
belka [17]

Answer:

$32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last years salary was $x

Therefore,

x + 3% of x = $32960

x + 0.03x = $32960

1.03x=$32960

x = 32960/1.03

x = $32,000

So, last year's salary was $32000.

Jesse is investing $2000 more in stocks than in bonds.The bonds pay 7.2% in interest and the stocks pay 6%. If the income from e
tamaranim1 [39]
X+2,000=stocks
x=bonds
7.2%⇒(.072)(x)=bonds invested
6%⇒(.06)(x+2,000)=stocks invested

Here is the equation:

x(.072)=(.06)(x+2,000) | Since the income from both equal

You then solve each side first (assume you know how to but if not, let me know)

You first multily the parentheses/x variables 
⇒.072x = .06x+2,000(.06)

⇒.072x = .06x+120

You then minus .06x from each side
⇒.012x = 120

You then divide each side by .012
.012x÷.012=x
120÷.012=10,000
x=10,000

Now change the original x variables with 10,000

.072($10,000)=$720 bond interest
<u>They are equal so $720×2=$1440</u>
