I would say around 25 to 35
13.32 = 3/5
1/5 = 13.32 / 3
1/5 = 4.44
Full cost = 4.44 * 5
= 22.20
Your answer is 9s^2-9st+6st-6t^2
We can represent the cost of the notebooks with by saying 0.75n, and the cost of the pens by saying 0.55p.
0.75n+0.55p will be the total cost before tax. Now, we need to add on tax. Tax will be 0.0625 times the total amount, so we can represent the cost by saying
(0.75n+0.55p) + 0.0625(0.75n+0.55p), so the answer is B.
Answers:
- <u>24000 dollars</u> invested at 4%
- <u>18000 dollars</u> was invested at 7%
======================================================
Work Shown:
x = amount invested at 4%
If she invests x dollars at 4%, then the rest (42000-x) must be invested at the other rate of 7%
She earns 0.04x dollars from that first account and 0.07(42000-x) dollars from the second account
This means we have
0.04x+0.07(42000-x)
0.04x+0.07*42000-0.07x
0.04x+2940-0.07x
-0.03x+2940
This represents the total amount of money earned after 1 year.
We're told the amount earned in interest is $2220, so we can say,
-0.03x+2940 = 2220
-0.03x = 2220-2940
-0.03x = -720
x = -720/(-0.03)
x = 24000 dollars is the amount invested at 4%
42000-x = 42000-24000 = 18000 dollars was invested at 7%
----------------------
As a check, we can see that
18000+24000 = 42000
and also
0.04x = 0.04*24000 = 960 earned from the first account
0.07*18000 = 1260 earned from the second account
1260+960 = 2220 is the total interest earned from both accounts combined
This confirms our answers.
