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.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)
Now, we solve for t.
1/2t+1/6t+8=t
We combine like terms.
2/3t+8=t
We subtract t from both sides.
-1/3t+8=0
We subtract 8 from both sides.
-1/3t=-8
We divide both sides by -1/3.
t=24
Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.
Have a wonderful day! :D
It is not. In the decimal system each column to the right is valued at powers of ten starting at zero and increasing as you move to the left...in a four digit number...the columns are valued at...
10^3, 10^2, 10^1, 10^0 which corresponds to...
1000, 1000, 10, 1 in this case the first digit is equal to
5(1000)=5000 the value of the last digit is 5(1)=5
So the first 5 is 1000 times as great as the second 5...
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x^8
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
Here you have ...
(x^3)(x^5) = x^(3+5) = x^8
