Problem Solving

Linear equations are often used to solve practical problems that have an unknown quantity. We use a suitable pronumeral to represent the unknown quantity, translate the information given in the problem into an equation, and then solve the equation using the skills acquired earlier in this chapter.

Example 11

If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25. Find the number.

Solution:

Let x be the number. Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25. Therefore, x + 8 = 25. Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17. So, the number is 17.

Answer:

bonds: $18,000
stocks: $6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a total of $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds in the ratio 1 : 3. You want to know the amount invested in each category.

<h3>Ratio</h3>

Recognizing that the total number of ratio units is 1+3 = 4, and that total represents $24,000, we see that each ratio unit represents $24,000/4 = $6,000.

Multiplying the ratio by $6,000, we see the investment amounts are ...

stocks : bonds = 1 : 3 = $6,000 : $18,000

$6,000 is invested in stocks; $18,000 is invested in bonds.
