The number of white sweatshirts is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ordered black shirts be represented by b

Let ordered white shirts be represented by w

So total sweatshirts will be represented by the equation

b+w=50

The total cost of the ordered sweatshirts will be represented by

10b + 12 w= $556

For simultaneous equations as;

b+w=50

10b+12w=556

solving the equations using substitution method where b=50-w

10(50-w)+12w=556

500-10w+12w=556

-10w+12w=556-500

2w=56

w=56/2= 28

b=50-w=50-28=24

Number of white sweatshirts is 28

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef

uranmaximum [27]

The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
$r = {(1 + \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1$
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
$r = {(1 + \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = {(1 + \frac{1}{25}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = \frac{676}{625} - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%$
