1 answer:

5 0

Answer: x=68/11 and y=-72/11

Steps:

2(x+4y=-20)

2x+8y=-40

2x - 3y = 32
- 2x + 8y = -40

-11y=72

y=-72/11

x + 4(-72/11) = -20

x - 288/11 = -20

x=68/11

Travka [436]

John's effective annual rate is about
(1 +.0576/4)^4 -1 ≈ 5.8856%
According to the "rule of 72", John's money will have doubled in
72/5.8856 = 12.23 years

John's balance will be $4500 in 1989.

_____
Since you're only concerned with the year (not the month), you don't actually need to determine the effective annual rate. The given rate of 5.76% will tell you 72/5.76 = 12.5 years. The actual doubling time is closer to 12.12 years, so using the effective rate gives results that are closer, but "good enough" is good enough in this case.

Given

The frosting is made of cream cheese and Powdered sugar in the ratio of 3:2.

If 120 g of cheese is used

Assume the quantity of powdered sugar is x

So, we can write the ratio as

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{120}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 120\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 3\times 40\\\\\Rightarrow x=80\ g$
