Answer:

The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest

So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest

$SI = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}$

First account: $SI=\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}$

Second account : $SI =\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}$

We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.

So, $\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}+\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}=590\\x=3400$

So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400

The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600

Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile

lord [1]

Answer:

The number of days is at most 5 days

= d ≤ 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 500 miles.

• She has at most $220 to spend.

At most means Less than or equal to $220

The inequality for expressing this = ≤

Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.

$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200

The inequality is given as:

31d + 65 ≤ 220

Solving further

31d ≤ 220 -65

31d ≤ 155

d ≤ 155/31

d ≤ 5

Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days
