Answer:

86 milkshakes and 63 ice cream were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of milkshake sold be x

Let the amount of ice cream sold be y

If  she sold 149 milkshakes and ice cream cones then;

x+y = 149 ... 1

If the milkshakes sold for $4 and the ice cream cones for $3, with total amount #533 collected then;

4x + 3y = 533 ....2

Solve both equations simultaneously

x+y = 149 ... 1  * 4

4x + 3y = 533 ....2 * 1

________________________

4x+4y = 596

4x+3y = 533

Subtract

4y-3y = 596-533

y = 63

since x +y = 149

x+63 = 149

x = 149 - 63

x = 86

Hence 86 milkshakes and 63 ice cream were sold

Answer:

Fernando invested $ 5000 on the 5-year CD and $ 4000 on the 18-month CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Fernando invested money in a 5-yr CD (certificate of deposit) that returned the equivalent of 3.3% simple interest, and the invested $ 1000 less in a 18-month CD that had a 2% simple interest return, if the total amount of interest from these investments was $ 945.00, to determine how much was invested in each CD the following calculation must be performed:

3.3 x 5 = 16.5

2 x 1.5 = 3

4000 x 0.165 + 3000 x 0.03 = 750

6000 x 0.165 + 5000 x 0.03 = 1140

5000 x 0.165 + 4000 x 0.03 = 945

Therefore, Fernando invested $ 5000 on the 5-year CD and $ 4000 on the 18-month CD.
