X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5
No 3/4 is bigger
if you multiply the top and bottom of 3/4 by 4, you get 12/16.
11/16 <12/16
Answer:
Kristi
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Simple Interest =
Principal × Rate × Time
For Kristi
Kristi invests $3,000 at a 7.25% annual simple interest rate,
Principal = $3000
Rate = 7.25% = 0.0725
Time = 1
Simple interest = $3000 × 0.0725 × 1
= $217.5
For Kari
Her sister Kari invests $3,200 at a 6.25% annual simple interest rate.
Principal = $3200
Rate = 6.25% = 0.0625
Time = 1
Simple interest = $3200 × 0.0625 × 1
= $200
From the above calculation, we can see that: Kristi will earn the greater amount of interest after one year
In order to know what the polygon is, you have to plot the coordinates. After plotting, it is obviously shown a form of a rectangle. After connecting the midpoints of the sides, it formed a (D) rhombus, not a kite.
Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved)
Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5
Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be:
M=Amount they must raise
C=Cost per magazine
n=Number of magazines
p=profit $5.5 per magazine
C+p=M/n
And rewriting the previous they should make:
n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>
<span>m = 5.5n</span>
