Answer:

The cost of each bushes is $9.00

The cost of each bonsai trees is $32.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The amount the company paid for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees = $391

The amount for which the company purchased 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees = $241

Let x represent the cost of each bushes and let y represent the cost of each Bonsai Trees, we have;

15 × x + 8 × y = 391...(1)

9 × x + 5 × y = 241...(2)

We make y the subject of both equations to get;

For equation (1), we have;

15·x + 8·y = 391

15·x + 8·y = 391

8·y = 391 - 15·x

y = 391/8 - 15/8·x

For equation (2), we have;

9 × x + 5 × y = 241

5·y = 241 - 9·x

y = 241/5 - 9/5·x

Equating both equations, gives;

391/8 - 15/8·x = 241/5 - 9/5·x

391/8 - 241/5 = 15/8·x - 9/5·x = 0.075·x

0.675 = 0.075·x

x = 0.675/0.075 = 9

x = 9

Therefore, the cost of each bushes = x = $9.00

From, y = 241/5 - 9/5·x, we have;

y = 241/5 - 9/5×9 = 32

y = 32

Therefore, the cost of each bonsai trees = y = $32.00

It's a question from real and complex numbers which I can't solve. so someone PLZ HeLp​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

a^{m} × a^{n} = a^{(m+n)}, \frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} } = a^{(m-n)}, (a^m)^{n} = a^{mn}

Simplifying the product of the first 2 terms

\frac{a^{p^2+pq} }{a^{pq+q^2} } × \frac{a^{q^2+qr} }{a^{qr+r^2} }

= a^{p^2-q^2} × a^{q^2-r^2}

= a^{p^2-r^2}

Simplifying the third term

5((a^p+r)^{p-r}

= 5a^{(p+r)(p-r)} = 5a^{(p^2-r^2)}

Performing the division, that is

\frac{a^{(p^2-r^2)} }{5a^{(p^2-r^2)} } ← cancel a^{(p^2-r^2)} on numerator/ denominator leaves

= \frac{1}{5}

Find the amount of interest payable if $400 is borrowed at 14% interest and is to be repaid in 6 months
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the Principal amount  borrowed = $400

Rate of Interest  = 14%

Time = 6 months  = 6 / 12 years  = 0.5 year

Now, SIMPLE INTEREST = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

So, here SI  = SI = \frac{400 \times 14 \times 0.5}{100}   =  28

or, SI = $28

Hence, the amount of interest payable after 6 months is $28.

Last week Missy read for a total of 240 minutes during this time she read 112 pages at this rate how many pages did she read in
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

28 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

240 minutes = 4 hours

240 minutes = 112 pages read

You have to divide by 4 the numbers are in each side, it would be like this:

60 minutes = 28 pages read

60 minutes is equal to an hour

1 hour = 28 pages read

Hope this was helpful :)
