Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6
2+1=2n/6
2n=18
n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18

N76 [4]

Answer:

$80,000

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Define the variables</u>:

Let x =  "fish-flavored" chicken company investment (in dollars)

Let y = spray-on vitamins company investment (in dollars)

If Allen invested a total of $100,000:

⇒ x + y = 100000

Given:

  • 3% profit on "fish-flavored" chicken investment
  • 1% profit on pray-on vitamins investment
  • Total profit = $2,600

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01y = 2600

Rewrite the first equation to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 100000 - x

Substitute into the second equation and solve for x:

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01(100000 - x) = 2600

⇒ 0.03x + 1000 - 0.01x = 2600

⇒ 0.02x + 1000 = 2600

⇒ 0.02x = 1600

⇒ x = 80000

Therefore, Allen invested $80,000 in the "fish-flavored" chicken company.
