Answer:

Number of stock A = 200

Number of stock B = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of stock A shares = a

Number of stock B shares = b

Worth of stock A = 50 * a = 50a

Worth of stock B = 60 * b = 60b

50a + 60b = 28000 - - - (1)

Triple the value of stock B:

3 * 60 = 180

Value of stock A goes up by 50%

(100 + 50)% * 50 = 1.5 * 50 = 75

75a + 180b = 69000 - - - (2)

50a + 60b = 28000

75a + 180b = 69000

Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract

150a + 180b = 84000

75a + 180b = 69000

75a = 15000

a = 15000/75

a = 200

75(200) + 180b = 69000

15000 + 180b = 69000

180b = 69000 - 15000

180b = 54000

b = 300

An ice cream factory makes 29 quarts of ice cream in 5 hours. How many quarts could be made in 48 hours ? What was that rate per
Vadim26 [7]

We can easily get the quarts per hour rate by dividing the number of quarts by the number of hours:

\text{29 quarts in 5 hours} \implies \dfrac{29}{5} = 5.8 \text{ quarts in 1 hour}

Now that we have the quarts per hour rate, we can easily address the question: the factory could make

5.8\cdot 48 = 278.4

quarts in 48 hours, with a daily rate of

5.8\cdot 24 = 139.2

quarts per day

Glenn needs 20 minutes to clean his room. If his little sister Veronika pulls things out while he is cleaning, it takes 60 minut
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

It takes 30 minutes

Step By Step:

The rate of Glenn in finishing a job would be equivalent to:

Rate (G) = 1

job / 20 minutes

While the rate of Veronika is:

Rate (V) = 1

job / x---> x is the unknown

Where 1 job for Glenn means completely cleaning his room while 1 job for Veronika means pulling out everything. Therefore the equation to use would be:

1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60

The rate of

Veronika is subtracted from the rate of Glenn since Veronika is slowing Glenn

down. Solving for x:

Multiply both

sides by 60 x

(1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60) * 60 x

3 x – 60 = x

2 x = 60

x = 30

Therefore it

takes 30 minutes for Veronika to pull everything out.
