Answer:60 male staff

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are 96 female staff. The ratio of male to female is 3:4. We’re going to use a proportion which looks like this. 3/4 = x/96. X is a variable that takes the place of the male staff since we don’t know what it is. Now, the question is what do we do to get from 4 to 96. So 96/4 = 24, so 4 x 20 = 96. To keep this ratio equivalent whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 4 x 20 = 96 and 3 x 20 = 60. So there are 60 male staff.

Mary has $65,000 to invest in two accounts. The first account is a private savings offering 6% annual interest and the second ac
const2013 [10]

Answer:

first account with 6% interest ( x ) = $46000

second account with 4% interest ( y ) = $19000

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $65000

first interest rate = 6%

second interest rate = 4%

assuming ; X = money invested in first account ,  Y = money invested in second account

hence :

( 65000 - y ) * 6% + ( 65000 - x ) * 4% = 3520

3900 - 0.06 y  + 2600 - 0.04 x = 3520

0.04 x + 0.06 y = 3900 + 2600 - 3520

0.04 x + 0.06 y = 2980 ----- ( 1)

        x + y = 65000  ------- ( 2 )

solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously by elimination method

0.04 x + 0.06 y = 2980 ------  ( 3 )

0.06 x + 0.06 y = 3900 ------- ( 4 )

subtract equation 3 form equation 4

0.02 x  = 920 ,   hence x = $46000

therefore y = $65000 - $46000 =  $19000
