Principal is the same as original amount.
<span>1. You convert the rate % to a decimal number. (divide by 100) </span>
<span>2. Substitute: </span>
<span>P = 144 / (.04 x 2) </span>
<span>3. Solve: </span>
<span>P = 144 / .08 </span>
<span>P = 1,800 </span>
<span>4. Your answer is $1,800</span>
Since p is the midpoint then xp and pay must equal each other
So, 11-6b=6-b
Solve for b
11-6b=6-b
-6 -6
5-6b=-b
+6b +6b
5=5b
b=1
xp=11-6(1)
xp=5
Answer:
Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
Together they sold 256 books
To Find : How many did each one of them sell?
Solution:
Let Jessica sold x books
Let Josh sold y books.
Since we are given that Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
⇒x=15y --a
We are also given that Together they sold 256 books.
⇒x+y=256 --b
Using substitution method
Put value of x from equation a in equation b
⇒15y+y=256
⇒16y=256
⇒
⇒
Thus Josh sold 16 books
Jessica sold books = 15y = 15*16=240
Hence Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
