Answer : 12%

explanation :

Let the sum of money be P(which is the principal value) and rate of interest be R.

According to the question,

Amount (principal +simple interest) = 8P/5

Time (T) = 5 years

Simple interest (SI) = PRT/100

SI = 5PR/100

Amount = P +SI

8P/5 = P+(5PR/100)

8P/5 = P(100+5R)/100

160 = 100 +5R

5R =60

R = 12

Therefore, rate of interest = 12% p.a.

A music festival charges $54.95 per ticket sold on the day of the event. A ticket purchases before the festival costs only $39.9
Wewaii [24]
B=number of ticets sold before
a=number of tickets sold after

cost of a ticket=number of tickets times cost per ticket
beforecost=39.95b
aftercost=54.95a

total cost=925000
39.95b+54.95a=925000

total number tickets=20000
b+a=20000

we have

39.95b+54.95a=925000
b+a=20000
multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equatin
39.95b+54.95a=925000
<u>-39.95b-39.95a=-799000 +</u>
0b+15a=126000

15a=126000
divide bot sides by 15
a=8400

sub back
b+a=20000
b+8400=20000
minus 8400 both sides
b=11600




11,600 tickets sold before
8400 tickets sold after

Write an equation for the vertical line that contains point E(-12, 7). Is anybody able to help?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical lines take the form of x = something and horizontal lines take the form of y = something

Why is this? Notice that whenever you make a horizontal line on a graph and select virtually any point that's on that line, all of the points you pick will have the same y value. Try to imagine the same thing with a vertical line, are the results the same?

So the line x = -12 (we got -12 from the coordinate that was given to us on the question prompt) is a vertical line that passes through virtually all possible y values (from positive infinity to negative infinity, or vice-versa) which means that the question prompt having given us the y value was negligible.

Good luck!
