The amount invested in each company is :

  • Amount invested in PP = $2400
  • Amount invested in TT = $(10000 - 2400) = $7600

Using the simple interest relation:

Simple interest = principal × rate × time

Total amount = 10000

Let :

principal invested in PP = r

HENCE, amount invested in TT = 10000 - r

Total interest earned on both investments = $620

PP investment return + TT investment return = 620

(r × 10% × 1) + (10000 - r × 5% × 1) = 620

0.1r + 500 - 0.05r = 620

0.05r = 620 - 500

0.05r = 120

r = 120 / 0.05

r = 2400

Hence,

Amount invested in PP = $2400

Amount invested in TT = $(10000 - 2400) = $7600

Molly opened a bank account. She deposited $86.50 into her account every month for 20 months. She used $24.50 every month to pay
harkovskaia [24]
First, let's multiply 86.50 by 20 since she deposited $86.50 each month for 20 months.

86.50 * 20 = $1,730

Now, we have to divide this by 24.50 * 20 to find how much out of her $1,730 that she used on singing lessons.

24.50 * 20 = $490

Subtract how much she used for singing lessons from her total amount.

1,730 - 490 = $1,240

Finally, we multiply the amount she has left by 1/4 to find out how much she spent on her summer camp. We can also do this by multiplying 1,240 by 0.25 since 0.25 = 1/4.

1,240 * 0.25 = $310

So, Molly spent $310.00 on her summer camp.
Hope this helped!

prisoha [69]

Answer:

\frac{8}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of selecting a girl from students is \frac{4}{5}

probability of girl wearing sneaker from girls is \frac{4}{10} or \frac{2}{5}

hence, probability of selecting a girl wearing a sneaker will be,

⇒ probability = probability of delecting a girl from students × probability of girl wearing sneakers from girls

⇒ probability = (\frac{4}{5})( \frac{2}{5})

⇒ probability = \frac{8}{25}

I think you left out the word half. I am going to assume you meant half. If half the garden is planted with flowers, then you take away half of the area, which would be 36. that leaves you with 36sq.ft. that he has used to plant vegetables
