We know nothing about Elizabeth hours, so that is where you assign the variable.

Elizabeth = X

Katie = X+3

Siobhan = X -1

Assuming this holds true over 3 weeks,

3(x+3) = 3X + 3(x-1)

3x + 9 = 3x + 3x - 3

3x + 9 = 6x - 3

0 = 6x - 3 - 3x - 9

0 = 3x - 12

12 = 3x

x=4

in one week:

Elizabeth volunteers 4 hours

Katie volunteers 7 hours

Siobhan volunteers 3 hours

over three weeks:

Elizabeth volunteers 12 hours

Katie volunteers 21 hours

Siobhan voluteers 9 hours

21 = 12 + 9, so yes it checks.

What is the yield on a corporate bond with a $1000
White raven [17]

The yield on the corporate bond of a face value of $1000 is 7.77%.

What is the percentage discount?

The percentage discount is the discount given on a product as compared to the given discount on 100 rupees.

Given, the face value of the bond is $1000.

Discounted price of the bond is $900.

Therefore, the fixed interest on the bond for that period will be

= $1000 × 7/100 = $70.

Now, the yield on that corporate  bond = 70 × 100/900 % = 7.77% .

Hence, the yield on the corporate bond of a face value of $1000 is 7.77%.
